HOME  >  Products Our chemical products are generated through distillation of coal tar and crude benzenes produced at JFE Steel’s coke ovens. These products are commonly used as “high quality intermediate materials” in various industries. Having Asia’s first and the world’s second largest capacity for coal tar distillation, which reaches 1.2 million tons annually, and with more than 50 years of expertise in the technology since its foundation, JFE Chemical is trusted by its customers for a wide range of products derived from the light (such as phenols) and heavy fractions (such as carbon black materials and electrode pitch) of distilled coal tar. In addition, JFE Chemical has been the premier supplier of benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX), which are manufactured by distillation and purification of crude benzenes, for various clients in the petrochemical industry. High quality and high performance graphite powder produced with JFE Chemical’s proprietary technologies using self-supplied materials have earned an excellent reputation as materials for negative electrodes of rechargeable lithium ion battery. These products also have promise as electric power storage systems in the near future. JFE Chemical provides coal tar derived products including indene, fluorene, phenols, and their derivatives. These chemicals contribute to material functionalities such as heat resistance and optical properties and are used as functional resin materials for polyimides and electroluminescent (EL) polymers or as intermediates for various chemicals, agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Using proprietary technologies, JFE Chemical offers a comprehensive line of high quality iron oxide products. Supported by our broad product lineup and integrated technological services, our dry desulfurizing agents, which are effective for gas purification, and calcined and granulated powders for soft ferrites, are also popular among various industries. JFE Chemical supplies various high quality Industrial Gasseses essential for steel plants. Liquefied gases are produced by deep freezing air to separate its components (nitrogen, oxygen and argon) followed by purification. Hydrogen gas is produced by purification of by-product gas at steelworks. These products are widely used in various industries. K-Plasheet Corporation, one of the JFE Chemical Group companies, is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of Stampable plastic sheets (a composite of polypropylene and glass fibers) as well as steel plates. The unique papermaking technology, which increases dispersibility of the glass fibers, has successfully developed lighter and more durable products. Used for the interior ceiling of cars, these products are well received as materials to reduce weight and to streamline the components of automobiles.
