CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

JNC CORPORATION's chemical manufacturing is separated by

• Chemical Products - The organic chemicals of JNC CORPORATION originate from acetylene produced from carbide utilizing the hydroelectric power plant, our startup business in 1906. Since then, we have manufactured various derivatives up to the present day. We aim to supply products that match the market needs, from traditional products to leading-edge electronic materials.

• Life Chemicals - Life chemical products are used in a wide range of fields, including biopharmaceuticals, food, toiletries, cosmetics, microorganism inspection, and human diagnosis. In biopharmaceuticals, Cellufine products are used for purification and separation in manufacturing recombinant pharmaceuticals, vaccines and the like, and we have a lineup of products according to each application. Moreover, polylysine is sold as a preservative in food, and its antibacterial function is used to extend the shelf life of the food. On the other hand, we also focus on applications other than food, such as toiletries and cosmetics. With regard to microorganism inspection, sheet-type inspection kits "MC-Media Pad" formed of media ingredients and non-woven fabric are available, which are used in a wide range of fields in addition to food inspection because preparation before the inspection is unnecessary and anyone can easily conduct the inspection. Moreover, we have developed a kit for detecting Trichophyton (cause of athlete's foot) in 5 minutes, which has acquired pharmaceutical approval and is currently preparing for launch.
  As you can see, we provide life chemical products for use in our daily lives.
