POLYMETAC is a cutting edge Mitsui Chemicals’ technology which allows bonding of metal and resins by a special surface processing proprietary process. In addition to its superior bonding strength, POLYMETAC technology allows significant weight reduction and reduction in component number thereby contributing to easier and simpler manufacturing processes. Mitsui Chemicals is expanding business development for applications of the strong bonding technology and has received high marks from customers for uses in electrical and electronic segments such as those related to smartphones and automotive applications.
