The Kaneka Group regards achieving sustainable growth and improving its corporate value in the medium- to long-term as its most important management issue, based on its Management Philosophy (which comprises the Corporate Philosophy, Corporate Ideals, and ESG Charter, as shown below) set forth in its long-term vision "Declaration of KANEKA UNITED for the future."

Kanecaron is a performance fiber that has the characteristics of high flame retardancy (FR) in addition to the soft hand and dyeability, as is the nature of acrylic fiber. It is an inherently self-extinguishing FR fiber that imparts excellent flame-retardancy to fabrics and nonwovens in blends with other natural and synthetic fibers. There is no deterioration in flame retardancy after either repeated washing or normal use over time.

Protex is the advanced FR fiber in the Kanecaron family. Based on the original characteristic of Kanecaron, both FR and heat resistance is improved which allows blends with other flammable fibers, such as, cotton or polyester while keeping a high level of FR performance.
