Daicel Corporation (株式会社ダイセル, Kabushiki gaisha Daiseru) is a chemical company based in Japan. It operates business in celluloid technologies, organic chemicals, high-performance chemicals, polymers and pyrotechnic devices. The company's products include cellulose acetate, tow for cigarette filters, high-performance chemicals, engineering plastics like liquid crystal polymers (LPCs), resin compounds, and automotive airbag inflators.[3]
The company formed under the name of Dainippon Celluloid Company from a 1919 merger of eight regional celluloid manufacturers and changed its name to the present one in 1966.[4] Its first subsidiary, Fuji Photo Film, was set up in 1934 to produce nitrocellulose film.[5] Eventually this company became Fujifilm.
As of early 2020, Daicel owned a majority stake in Polyplastics. By the end of 2020, Daicel purchased the remaining minority stake from Celanese and attained 100% ownership of Polyplastics.[6][7][8]
