We provide chemical products using organic synthetic technology, inorganic synthetic technology and biotechnology.

Organic acids

Organic acid, such as tartaric acid, citrate, and lactic acid, there salts are used as acidity agents, seasoning, stabilizer, reinforcing agent etc. in food additives and pharmaceutical material. Moreover, it is broadly used also for the industrial-chemicals such as a detergent of an electronic related component or an optical splitters, detergent of various manufacturing equipment and plasticizer. Showa Kako is producing these organic acids in the country, so in terms of quality control you can be relieved and be more secure.
