HOME>Research and Development

The Tateyama Kagaku Group, led by R&D division of Tateyama Kagaku and Business promotion department of Tateyama Machine, aims to establish the "Only One technology" for the next generation by integrating the core technologies of each group company.

R&D division is engaged in replenishing basic technologies from a medium-term to long-term perspective and serves as the R&D base for all group companies.

Nano materials and new businesses are researched and developed in Business promotion department.

Our mission is to further deepen the technologies that each group company is working on, or to take on the challenge of developing technologies in new fields that have never been handled before, identify a roadmap to practical application, and then break them down to each group company.

We have been conducting research and development in collaboration with universities and public research institutions, and the results are steadily improving.

We are working on the practical application of nanotechnology-based production technologies for metal nanocolloids and carbon nanotubes, the development of new sensor elements, precision processing, design simulation, communications and networks, medicine and biotechnology, and a wide range of forward-looking themes such as the recently discussed new energy field.

Research and Development Policy

Changing the world with things "We" created

Every day, we challenge ourselves to develop new technologies so that the products created by each of us can surprise the world, create new experiences, and provide unprecedented value.

LED-compatible phosphorescent material “Kyokko”

Overview The world's first LED-compatible phosphorescent material developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)
Advantages
  • While ordinary phosphorescent materials emit light only in response to ultraviolet light, Kyokko absorbs both ultraviolet and visible blue LED light and emits light.
  • Fluorescent materials emit light only when exposed to light, while phosphorescent materials continue to emit light even after light is cut off.
  • Phosphorescent material is a type of ceramics.
Application
  • Custom-made paints adapted to the object to be painted
  • Phosphorescent sheet conforming to JIS standard
  • Molded resin products
  • Disaster Reduction Products
