The Mitsubishi Chemical Group expands its storefront on Knowde

DIABEAM™ and DIACRON™ brands now available

SAN JOSE, CA – AUGUST 10, 2022 – The Mitsubishi Chemical Group is expanding its storefront on Knowde with the addition of its DIABEAM™  and DIACRON™ portfolios. 

“These high-value brands can help drive product innovation across multiple industries, from further development of autonomous and self-driving automobiles to high-speed printers and a wide range of packaging applications,” said Tomohiro Nishimura, Director of Coating & Additives Division, P&C/MMA Business Group, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation. 

DIABEAM™ is a portfolio of ultraviolet (UV) ray and thermal curable coating resins that can be incorporated in coatings for automotive exterior and interior parts. With DIABEAM™, auto makers can improve the performance of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as millimeter wave radar (MMWR) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-sensing cameras.

DIACRON™ saturated copolymerized polyester resins can be used in the manufacture of toner for compact, high-speed printers as well as inks and adhesives for packaging and industrial usage. DIACRON™ has grades using bio-based or recycled materials, meeting the most stringent performance requirements but also contributing to carbon neutrality.

“As research and development (R&D) professionals work to create new products and improve the functionality of current ones, they are able to utilize Knowde to find the ingredients that best match their application needs,” said Roy van Griensven, Head of Business Transformation Department, Mitsubishi Chemical Group. “That was a significant factor in our decision to expand Mitsubishi Chemical Group’s presence on Knowde.”
