For well over a half century Mitsubishi Chemcial has built a strong reputation for supplying the very highest quality acrylic polymers to the dental market. Today we have a comprehensive range of Colacryl^® and Lucite^® branded products and are committed to developing our knowledge and understanding of the sector so we can continue to lead with tailored solutions that deliver performance certainty to our customers.​ These unique materials are ideal for dentures, teeth, orthodontic and specialty applications.

The regulatory requirements for implant materials are particularly strict due to the sensitivity of the usage. Mitsubishi Chemical has many solutions available for the implant market ranging from materials for hip and knee replacements to bone cement and carbon reinforced PEEK composite material for bone screws. In addition, we develop and supply materials for devices that are used outside of the body such as screens and materials used in equipment.

Having reliability in materials and performance is very important for packaging items for medical applications. Currently Mitsubishi Chemical produces packaging for the medical industry that is used for filtration reaction bags, diagnostic test strips, drug delivery systems and tamper-evident shrink films.

In the medical industry it is becoming increasing important for staff to utilize disposable medical devices in everyday checkups and interactions including major surgeries. The key benefit of these disposable products is that they ensure cleanliness and sterility for their applications. Whether it is for film and tubing, disposable face shields or disposable patches and hydrogel, Mitsubishi Chemical materials are one important element to safe and secure patient interactions.
