Polymers
Leveraging our track record and innovation in our core business that is polymers, we are bringing our original high value-added line of products to the global market.

The polymers business is largely divided into two areas: films and plastics.
As a result of realizing numerous world firsts and expanding the possibilities of materials, it has become the core business upon which Unitika rests today.
While giving priority to developing environmentally friendly materials, we pursue the kind of performance and quality only Unitika can deliver as we strive to bring more lines of high value-added products to the global market.
