40 percent of the CCI staff works for R&D. Without limiting itself to any particular genre or category of research, CCI spends generous amounts of time and money for what President Okabe considers useful to human life and society. Such attitudes lead to surprising achievements. This is the "Innovation of Okabe", or "OKAVATION". Please watch for OKAVATION in the future.
For the first time in Japan we have succeeded in producing a water-soluble vitamin E glycoside and have obtained patents in Japan and abroad. When Vitamin E is drawing considerable attention as an antioxidant, an agent that prevents oxygen from functioning, this water-soluble Vitamin E glycoside is expected to open up even greater possibilities in our medical and health fields. We are also developing health food for allergies.
active oxygen is the cause of aging, cancer, arteriosclerosis, etc. As shown in TV programs on health, you must be aware of the negative effects of active oxygen on the human body. However, vitamin E is not water-soluble and it is active within the oil layer of the human body. So it does not function well as an antioxidant for active oxygen that is produced in the water layer.
By using a certain enzyme reaction, sugar has been successfully linked to Vitamin E homologues resulting in a water-soluble compound. This has been called Vitamin E Glycoside. Vitamin E Glycoside is an antioxidant which not only dissolves in water but can penetrate the oil layer. Therefore much is expected from its properties which ordinary Vitamin C and E do not have. We are already seeing some unexpected beneficial effects in animal models.
The number of pollinosis patient is estimated to be 10 million -15 million and allergies are to be considered national diseases. CCI has been developing anti-allergenic health foods with herbs, and hopes in the future to develop them further as products for human health.

DM group has developed the "DIPOLGY technology" to substantially absorb the energy of sound, vibration, shock and electron wave. We have applied for patents over 33 countries around the world. DIPOLGY "Soundproofing Foam", "Damping Sheet" and "Sound Absorption Film" as high-performance new materials, have been marketed. These high-performance absorption products incorporating this technology will be more extensively marketed.

The polymer material contains much amount of fire retardants.　 This results material physical performance decreasing, gas generation and mold stain.　 To solve these problems, hybrid technology between a few inorganic filler and nano leveled fire retardant to achieve the fire retardancy has been researched and developed.
