ADEKA CORPORATION (President and COO: Kunihiko Sakurai) has developed an eco-friendly photocation polymerization initiator (ADEKA OPTOMER SP-300).

The boron-based onium salt photocation polymerization initiator just developed by ADEKA is comparable to conventional versions in sensitive curability and stability with time but is highly safe because it uses no toxic metal.

More specifically, it is expected to be applied to hard coating on optical film and ID cards and other materials, adhesion of mobile phone parts and camera lenses, and various other kinds of precision equipment.

ADEKA has as its target to achieve 1 billion yen in sales per year five years later.
