Make use of our technology and chemicals to solve your problems, we will be your helpful partner.
We, KAWASAKI KASEI CHEMICALS LTD., have been studying and synthesizing various derivatives of naphthoquinone, anthraquinone, naphthalene and anthracene for several decades. We are the largest manufacturer of naphthoquinone in the world, and supplying our products to customers all over the world.
    We have experienced joint works with many companies of various fields and have experiences of study to synthesize more than 900 derivatives. We are making efforts to develop new technology and new products. And we awarded the prize of the Society of Synthetic Organic Chemistry. in Japan (2000), for manufacturing technology for the agricultural chemical ingredient that is naphthoquinone derivative. We are the pioneer of the world of quinones.
    Please contact us when you intend to step in this field.
Of course, we are ready to supply our commercial products and respond to custom manufacturing.
    Please contact us for your request.
