Research and Development

Opening new doors for innovation of chemicals
"Creative Thinking and Technology for Tomorrow 21"


Kanto Chemical has its research and development activities across a wide range of fields, from reagents that provide foundations of leading-edge scientific technologies to development of highly functional chemicals and materials necessary for revolutionary industrial technologies. With a strong sense of corporate mission, Kanto Chemical has made, and continues to make, an active contribution to future creativity.

We have endeavored in doing the unthinkable - is it possible to clean up dust lodged within a hole 100 nanometers in diameter (1/100,000th of one centimeter)? Is it possible to convert tons of chemical compounds with only one gram of catalyst? Is it possible to conduct a test using only 1/1,000th of one milliliter of blood? We have challenged these issues, that at first glance seem unreasonable, but we have made contributions to developments in the fields of medical diagnostics, chemical processes that reduce the burden on the environment and next - generation ULSI manufacturing technologies.

Now, with the slogan "Creative Thinking and Technology for Tomorrow 21" we demonstrate our desire to do more than remain content with our accumulated expertise. We seek to further improve our technologies through collaborative research with companies, universities and public research institutions. Embracing the spirit of challenge, Kanto Chemical opens the door into a new era in chemistry.
