Factory temporary closedown and many unemployed people are caused by a sinking economy all over the world because of the financial crisis. We have to take advantage of this circumstance to review mass consumption type society. Resources and energy are necessary to produce “things” which make our life rich. Since both resource and energy are limited, creating an environmentally-friendly society in adoption of resource and energy saving is needed at the same time as reviewing richness.
CATALER CORPORATION has kept supplying environmental technology to purify air and water with the catalyst and the activated carbon.
Automotive gas purifying catalyst (automotive catalyst), which contains precious metals, has required technology that ensures higher purifying performance with less precious metals amount. CATALER has successfully developed the technology that can cut the usage of big precious metals requested. Especially for the fuel-efficient hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), the engine needs high performance automotive catalyst because it repeats automatic stop and start. CATALER has been jointly developing and commercializing the HEV catalyst with automotive manufacturer.
Our technology for automotive catalyst is the top level not only in Japan but also in the world and manufacturing in five countries. Catalyst for the motorcycles and the multi-purpose engines is our unique product and entire process of developing from substrate to catalyst coating is possible. We have a broad lineup of products responding request from our domestic and foreign customers.
In addition, CATALER has been commercializing environmental chemical products such as the activated carbon for clean room filter of electronic factory and the deodorization filter that is made of formed activated carbon. These products have advanced from engineering development of activated carbon, which is our starting point. We also work on advanced development of looking at the future such as for the carbon material for capacitor, which processing technology for activated carbon is applied, and electrode catalysts for fuel cell.
Please expect CATALER, the company to grasp change of age and we will tackle environmental problems globally cooperating with the society.
