Acetic anhydride

As Japan’s only acetic acid manufacturers, we continue to supply high-quality products to a wide range of industries, from industrial applications to the food sector. Furthermore, we produce acetic anhydride at multiple sites, using acetic acid as a raw material. This product is widely used in applications such as pharmaceutical intermediates. In addition, we supply cellulose acetate and liquid crystal polymers (LCPs), which are produced using acetic anhydride, as our flagship products across a variety of industrial fields. We have also established a stable supply system by leveraging our group company, Daicel Logistics, which enables us to operate multiple distribution hubs and transport vehicles.
