In Southeast Asian countries, having the large population of Muslims, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia, there is a growing need to acquire halal certification for the raw materials and production processes of food-related companies. Under these circumstances, Nippon Shokubai has acquired halal certification for its sodium polyacrylates of food additive grade AQUALIC FH, feeding stuff additive grade AQUALIC MH and industrial grade AQUALIC IH. Nippon Shokubai expects this recent certification to result in greater demands of its sodium polyacrylates in Southeast Asia.
Looking ahead, Nippon Shokubai intends to keep responding to market needs while providing a wide range of products that bring richness and comfort to people and society.
