PetrochemicalsExpansion of production capacity for high-value-added polypropylene

SunAllomer Ltd., an affiliate of ours to which the equity method is applied, will modify its plant in Oita to start producing high-value-added polypropylene. At the same time, the capacity of the plant will be increased by approximately 60,000 tons a year to make up for the resultant capacity shortage for existing product mix. Furthermore, the company will modify the plant to conserve energy and improve the efficiency of equipmentmanagement. Construction work will be completed in the first half of 2010.

Electronics Launch of Showa Denko HD Yamagata

On July 1, we started up Showa Denko HD Yamagata K.K., by acquiring Fujitsu Limited’s HD media production subsidiary. The company is SDK’s fourth HD media production site in the world, following the existing sites in Chiba Prefecture (Japan), Taiwan and Singapore. As the world’s largest independent HD media supplier, SDK will continue developing and supplying large-capacity HD media to meet customer needs.

Topics


Electronics Launch of 3.5-inch 500 GB HD media

In January, we began commercial shipments of 3.5-inch HD media with storage capacity of 500 gigabytes per disk. To the best of our knowledge, this product had the world’s highest storage capacity for this size available on the market as of February 2009. Demand for high-capacity HD media is growing for such applications as high-definition HDD recorders that can record digital high-definition TV programs as well as PCs that can record and edit moving pictures.

Development of AlGaInP red LED chips optimized for plant growthIn April, we started selling samples of AlGaInP LED chips that emit red light with

the wavelength of 660 nm: the optimum light for accelerating the growth of plants. To the best of our knowledge, the product had the world’s highest output as of April 2009 as LED chips that emit red light with the wavelength of 660 nm. We will develop applications for these red LED chips, mainly for use at facilities that grow lettuce and other vegetables in an environment of controlled lighting. In May, these chips were adopted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry at its fully-controlled facility that supplies a model for such facilities to be built in Japan.

Topics


Electronics Commercialization of VGCFTM-X, a new grade of carbon nanotube

We decided to build a 400-ton-a-year plant at Oita Complex to produce VGCFTM-X, a new grade of carbon nanotube with an optimized design for resin composite applications. Commercial shipments will begin in the first half of 2010. A small added amount of VGCFTM-X can give stable electric conductivity to resins. Thus, it will find applications in static-free plastic cases for the carriage of semiconductor/HD media parts in a clean room, contributing to securing good quality of these parts. We concluded a patent cross-license agreement with Hyperion Catalysis International, Inc., of the United States, which owns many key patents pertaining to materials and applications in the area of carbon nanotubes, including for resin composites.

Launch of graphite anode material for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehiclesWe started selling a new grade of SCMGTM (shape-controlled micro graphite) for

use as anode material in large lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). Demand for EVs is expected to grow as they contribute to conservation of resources. SCMGTM enables the use of heavy current and extends the life of lithium-ion batteries. In view of the expected growth in demand, we decided to increase our SCMGTM production capacity at Omachi from 1,000 tons a year at present to 3,000 tons a year in 2012, investing approximately ¥2 billion.

Topics


ElectronicsExpansion of the C4F6 etching gas businessThis year, we will start producing high-purity C4F6 etching

gas in Kawasaki in cooperation with Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., of the United States. Demand for C4F6 is expected to grow due to its improved processability and selectivity as well as very low environmental impact.

Transfer of the conductive polymer aluminum capacitors businessIn June, we decided to transfer our solid conductive polymer

aluminum capacitors business to Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The transfer will be completed by the end of this year. SDK will continue speedily concentrating its operations on strategically selected areas.

Topics


Inorganics Trial manufacture of photocatalyst under NEDO project

Showa Titanium Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of ours, started commercial production of a new visible-light-responsive photocatalyst. The photocatalyst has been developed under a project sponsored by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Unlike conventional photocatalysts, the new product effectively fulfills air-cleaning, stain-proofing, and antiviral/antibacterial functions inside a fluorescent-lamp-lighted room.

Reduction of CO2 emissions from graphite electrode productionWe completed our shift in fuel from heavy oil to liquefied natural gas

(LNG) in the baking process for graphite electrode production at the Omachi Plant. This helps the Plant to reduce CO2 emissions by 10,000 tons a year. To facilitate the fuel shift, we built a 270-kl LNG storage facility within the premises of the Plant. LNG is gasified at the facility and supplied to the baking process. Surplus waste heatcollected at the Plant is used as heat source for the gasification of LNG.
