MATERIALS INNOVATION - JSR株式会社

1 outline of JSR. Major Businesses Sustainable growth by providing JSR Group's major businesses are the Petrochemical Products Business, which is comprised of our Elastomer Business and Plastics Business; Fine Chemicals Business, which is made up of our Semiconductor MATERIALS Business and Display MATERIALS indispensable MATERIALS to society Business; and Life Sciences and others. Petrochemical Products Business Fine Chemicals and Other Products Business JSR Corporation (formerly 'Japan Synthetic Rubber Co., Ltd.') was established in 1957 for domestic production of Elastomers Fine Chemicals Business: Fine Chemicals Business: We have been providing an extensive range of products Semiconductor MATERIALS Display MATERIALS synthetic rubbers. Since then, JSR has continuously expanded its business to emulsions, plastics and other materi- such as synthetic rubbers used for car tires, thermoplastic We provide a comprehensive range of MATERIALS that We are among the world's top manufacturers of many MATERIALS elastomers which has the characteristic of both elastomers facilitate miniaturization and integration in various manufac- used in the color liquid-crystal panels that are installed in als for the semiconductor, at panel display, and optical MATERIALS elds by leveraging our proprietary polymer tech- and plastics, and latex which are used for paper coating.

Group's Corporate Mission is " MATERIALS INNOVATION : We create value through MATERIALS to enrich society, people and the environment". We will pursue the possibilities that MATERIALS represent, creating value that will make the world around us a better place to live and work.

Naphtha is a mixture of various hydrocarbons and this becomes starting material for the petrochemical industry. In case thermal cracking is conducted on the naphtha at high temperature, it will be cracked into ethylene propylene C4 fraction, C 5 fraction and cracked oil. These chemicals are referred to as the building blocks of the petrochemical industry, and using these chemicals as the raw MATERIALS , all sorts of derivatives are produced.

5 JSR receives supplies of ethylene, propylene, styrene, acrylonitrile, C4 fractions, and produce various products from these raw MATERIALS . Activities for Environment and Safety As a company that stresses corporate social responsibility (CSR), JSR Corporation takes an active stance with respect to the envi- ronment and safety. In recent years, we have been expected to create bene ts for both society and the company and to contrib- ute to the realization of a sustainable global environment and society. Thus, since 1995, we have been promoting independent and self-managed activities designed to proactively conserve the global environment and improve safety and health as part of our Responsible Care program. At the same time, we are endeavoring to develop business establishments that earn even greater trust by building communication with local communities and petrochemical complexes through various activities.

6 We will remain focused on realizing a sustainable global environment and society by continuously improving these initiatives. Capacity (As of April 1, 2017, Unit: tons / year).
