Location 1-5, Osadano-Cho, Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Site area 40,353m2 Major facilities Reaction facilities such as air oxidation, alkylation, nitration, reduction, esterification, alkoxylation, halogenation. Ultra-high-purity colloidal silica, finely powdered spherical silica, organosol manufacturing facilities Silica-related research facilities   This plant started its operation in 1984, and has served as the production base for our intermediates business enlarging its manufacturing facilities. Pharmaceuticals, pesticides, photographic chemicals, dyestuff and pigment intermediates, paints and resin additives and other chemicals, and ultra-high purity silica products for semi-conductor devices are manufactured here. Many of the products manufactured here have the top market shares in the relevant industries. Complete safety measures are provided, and exhaust gas burning equipment for the prevention of air pollution and waste fluids concentrating and disposal facility are installed. It is surrounded by greenery and consideration for environmental conservation is provided. There are large-scale manufacturing facilities of high efficiency in various reaction processes including air oxidation, alkylation, nitration, reduction, esterification, alkoxylation and bromination, targeting for world’s best quality and competitiveness in price. The integrated manufacturing facility of ultra-high purity colloidal silica starting from metallic silicon boasts its world largest scale, and the silica-related research facilities are provided here. Electro-material-related products including ultra-high purity colloidal silica required not to be contaminated with trace of dusts are manufactured in a clean room. For deodorizing and dust control as well as in the manufacturing processes, Kyoto Second Factory (63,787 m2) was installed with the exclusive warehouse in April 2004. This warehouse is a cutting-edge clean warehouse of three-layered structure that consists of storage space, handling space and truck loading space, enabling the delivery of products without exposure to outdoor air. It is also planned to construct the manufacturing facilities of new products and the research & development center in Kyoto Second Factory.
