Micron-sized glass supports
whole transportation infrastructures

This hard urethane resin is reinforced with glass fiber.
Surface treatment provides a natural wood texture, improves strength,
reduces weight and prevents corrosion, thus helping to protect
the environment as well.

LIFE

What you don't see
improves the view

Applying a dozen or so layers of highly reflective film
on both sides of the glass minimizes glare.
This film is so incredibly thin that you hardly even notice
the glass is there.

MEDICAL CARE

Glass saves lives
on the medical front lines

We recognize that protecting healthcare personal and medical researchers
from exposure to radiation and electromagnetic waves is just as important
as saving lives. We are committed to furthering the advancement of
medical treatment by developing radiation shielding glass for use
in the fast, accurate, and safe diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

ENERGY

Glass for the grand projects
of the future

The Space Solar Power System (SSPS) will comprise a collection
mirror 2 to 3 km in diameter, solar panels and a transmission unit.
We are working to make our ultrathin lightweight mirrors yet thinner,
lighter and stronger to help develop the system.
