Tokyo/Japan – Mitsui Chemicals has recently announced plans to bolster capacity at its Singapore-based wholly owned subsidiary Mitsui Elastomers Singapore by building a new plant to produce the high-performance elastomer Tafmer.

As part of its new Long-Term Business Plan, Vision 2030, Mitsui Chemicals aims to help solve social challenges and achieve sustainable business growth by providing unique materials, features and services.

The elastomer is used both as a soft molding material and as a resin modifier that dramatically improves resin properties. Its flexibility and lightness have resulted in it being used across a wide range of fields, including solar cell components, packaging materials, engineering plastic modifiers, sports shoes and automotive parts.

Demand for the elastomer is strong amid robust global economic growth, and is expected to rise further on the back of efforts to achieve a circular economy and step up the introduction of clean energy.
