The manufacture of good-quality coke and the effective use of coal tar and other byproducts
obtained from the coke-making process are the basis upon which the very existence
of Nippon Steel Chemical rests. In this way, Nippon Steel Chemical supports everyday
life by supplying a large variety of products that are used in the materials and
energy industries such as steel and electric power; advanced electronics, aerospace
and other industries. |

| Coal-based carbon
materials are obtained
from pitch, which comprises a major
part of coal tar's ingredients. These carbon
materials are not only used in diverse kinds
of electrodes but are also finding growing
use in semiconductors, aerospace and many
other fields. In the core pitch coke business, coal-based needle
coke for the LPU Series of artificial graphite electrodes-the first
material of its kind produced anywhere in the world-has already
found a role as an important and basic material underpinning electric-
furnace steel production.
Further Nippon Steel Chemical is pursuing comprehensive operations
in the field of carbon materials, involving the sale of binder/
impregnated pitch for artificial graphite electrodes, black oil
derived from coal tar and carbon black produced with black oil as a
primary material. This effort has brought Nippon Steel Chemical to
the forefront of the world's carbon materials field. |
