Fine Chemicals

Nippon Light Metal produces and sells a wide range of high quality chlorinating agents starting from chlorine by electrolyzing industrial salt to hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorite and etc., including other products derived from these chlorinating agents and further advanced fine chemicals. In addition, we are continuosly pursuing possibilities to apply such materials to new organic compounds by strenuous research and development activities of chlorinating reaction technique.
