Company profile
KURARAY CO.,LTD is a Japanese chemical manufacturer that will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2026. The company is committed to developing new fields of business through pioneering technology and provides solutions to a wide range of industries. KURARAY CO.,LTD operates in more than 30 countries and regions worldwide, with its activities described in terms of improving the environment and enhancing quality of life. For semiconductor-industry challenges, KURARAY CO.,LTD organizes its relevant solution areas around water treatment, chemical materials and polymer materials. In water treatment, the company combines long-standing experience in hollow-fiber membranes and activated-carbon products with proposals tailored to specific applications and requirements. Its chemical-material approach includes an alcohol solvent developed to reduce environmental impact and improve occupational safety as an alternative option for existing cleaning processes. In polymer materials, KURARAY CO.,LTD supplies PVA and PVB resins used across multiple industries including semiconductor applications and proposes solutions based on its material technologies.
Exhibits
AQUAVICSUS™ GL is a hollow-fiber membrane module for wastewater recycling in the semiconductor field, filtering and recycling wastewater from CMP, various cleaning, back-grinding and dicing processes. The same AQUAVICSUS™ GL application range includes wastewater from abatement scrubbers that treat toxic gases generated by dry etching and other processes. KURARAY CO.,LTD also provides high-performance activated carbons designed for advanced water-purification systems, and together the water-treatment products address contaminants including hydrogen peroxide, chloramine, free chlorine and PFAS. MMB is an environmentally conscious solvent material characterized by low odor, low toxicity and biodegradability, with an extensive body of safety data. MMB can be used in resist strippers and cleaners and is positioned as contributing to the development of higher-performance materials while providing an alternative path for cleaning processes. KURARAY CO.,LTD's PVA is a water-soluble synthetic polymer resin with a portfolio of more than 120 products ranging from partially hydrolyzed to fully hydrolyzed grades. MOWITAL™ PVB binder resin is used in semiconductor and electronic applications where process stability, yield improvement and quality reproducibility are required. The company's CMP pad is a semiconductor polishing pad described as a next-generation poreless pad intended to contribute to advanced semiconductor CMP processes. The CMP pad is presented with performance targets that include fewer defects, better step-height reduction, longer pad life and polishing stability. KURARAY CO.,LTD therefore spans wastewater recycling and purification, cleaning chemistry, water-soluble and binder resins, and CMP polishing materials within semiconductor manufacturing and related electronic processes. KURARAY CO.,LTD describes the alcohol solvent in its chemical solution area as developed to reduce environmental impact and improve occupational safety, and it proposes the material as an alternative to existing cleaning processes. For polymer materials, the company presents PVA and PVB resins as products used across various industries including the semiconductor field and applies its proprietary material technologies to application-specific proposals. The CMP pad product page identifies the general product as a Semiconductor polishing pad and lists the sales format as CMP pad.
