Kawasaki Organic Chemical Co., Ltd. Completes Expansion of ATBS Production Facility

ATBS (Acrylamide tertiary butyl sulfonate) is winning high regard because it can improve the ability of acrylic fiber to absorb dye and can be used for oil drilling, as a water treatment agent, and so forth. It is manufactured by our affiliated company, Kawasaki Organic Chemical Co., Ltd. The company recently completed an expansion of its production facilities aimed at meeting increased demand. This expansion has now enabled the company to ensure more stable supply. We intend to continue making even greater efforts to provide support for our customers.
