Zeon Specialty Materials Information

Zeon Specialty Materials Inc. ("ZSMI") is the U.S.-based operation of Zeon Corporation's Specialty Materials business. ZEON is engaged in unique businesses using raw materials extracted from the C4 and C5 fractions in naphtha along with its proprietary technologies. The use of C5 fractions across a broad range of products is a particularly significant strength of ZEON. Our C5 offerings include: - Optical and Medical-Grade Specialty Plastic - Optical Film - Thermal Interface Materials for Semiconductor - Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes - Specialty C5-based Solvents ZEONEX® and ZEONOR® Cyclo-Olefin Polymer (COP) are high purity, specialty plastics that are widely used in Optical Lens, Bio-Diagnostic, and Pharmaceutical Packaging applications. For the Life Sciences market, ZSMI's Aurora Microplates and Edge Precision Molding subsidiaries provide one-stop service from prototyping to mass-scale fabrication of microfluidics and microwell plates. TVs and consumer electronic displays benefits benefit from ZeonorFilm®, ZEON's flagship optical film that assist in improving the viewing experience for LCD and OLED displays. Based on ZEON's C5 building blocks, our Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) and Resist products elevate the fabrication and performance of semiconductors. Cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) is a totally new hydrophobic ether solvent, which was established out of ZEON's unique synthetic technology and C5 raw materials. Unlike other common ether solvents, CPME has unique excellent properties and is widely applicable as a replacement for Tetrahydrofuran (THF), Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE), Dioxane and other existing ether solvents.
