Intermediates for Pharmaceuticals
Hodogaya’s “Fine Chemicals”
Pharmaceutical production requires a long sequence of processes. The specialty chemicals Hodogaya Chemical provides play essential roles in these processes by, for example, inducing two different substances to form a bond or protecting sensitive molecular structures from unwanted influence. Not only for pharmaceuticals but also for functional polymers and other products that require very high levels of quality control, Hodogaya Chemical’s specialty chemicals strive to meet the diverse needs of the customers.

The structure of a chemical substance is investigated using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) machine.

Product properties are confirmed using analytical equipment.
The specialty chemicals of Hodogaya Chemical are based on production technology called “Phosgene Reaction.” This very toxic and volatile reaction relies on stringent and redundant controls. With our extensive track record of over 90 years operating this complex process, we intend to keep responding to the trust our customers have placed in us.
