R & D Center Overview
1. Elastomer Technologies
Synthetic rubbers and synthetic latex, the largest of ZEON's business lines, are supported by a wealth of industry-leading elastomer technologies.

Related to synthetic rubbers, ZEON cultivates its unique elastomer technologies in three laboratories: the General-purpose Rubber Laboratory, which develops rubbers for fuel-efficient tires; the Special Rubber Laboratory, which focuses on the development of elastomers requiring special qualities for specific applications and properties; and the Zetpol Laboratory, which is engaged in the development of elastomers with both heat and oil resistance.

Zeon's unique synthetic latex business line is supported by polymer ultra-fine particle design technologies, in addition to elastomer technologies, such as polymer composition and molecular weight distribution.
