Concept of Technical Development

技術開発の考え方

We respond to the increasingly sophisticated and diversified needs of our customers with a clear focus on innovation for next-generation technology.

Functional films provide convenience and comfort in various settings of everyday life. The specific needs have changed with the times, growing in both sophistication and diversity.
At Toray Advanced Film, we have established the technological expertise and development system to keep pace with the needs of the times by allocating 12% of our human resources and 4% of our net sales to R&D (actual figures for fiscal 2018).

Versatile combination of abundant, proprietary, elemental technologies

Toray Advanced Film pursues technical development by leveraging our dual technologies for film formation and processing, as well as for dry and wet processing.
