Overview
In Environmental Protection, we market polymer flocculants for wastewater treatment, which accelerate industrial wastewater sludge sedimentation, and slurry agents used in underground excavation.
In Construction, we market PPG used in applications such as sofa cushions and heat insulating materials.
FY2022 Business Performance
In the Environmental Protection segment, although demand for cationic monomers for polymer flocculants for overseas markets was sluggish, sales increased due to price revisions caused by soaring raw material prices.
In the Construction segment, sales of raw materials for polyurethane foams mainly used in furniture and heat insulating materials were weak due to a lull in demand for stay-at-home.
As a result, total net sales in this segment decreased by 1.7% year on year, to ¥18,284 million. Operating profit was ¥1,408 million (a decrease of 11.3% year on year).
