SDK Develops New Additive to Photo-curing Resins; Addition of Multifunctional Thiol Enhances Resin Performances.Tokyo, Japan, Apr 11, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) Newswire) - Showa Denko K.K. (SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK. SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). ) has developed innovative multifunctional thiol-based compounds for addition to photo-curing resins to improve their performances. SDK will start marketing the new product this month under the trade name of Karenz MT for use in the production of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and semiconductors. Karenz MT has the advantages of substantially increasing the speed of photo-curing and improving the strength of resin adhesion to substrate (glass, metal, PET resin, etc.). It also facilitates thin film formation due to its low reactivity with oxygen. SDK has resolved the problem of short pot life of multifunctional thiol-based compounds by optimizing the molecular structure and production processes, enabling their commercial use for the first time in the world. Karenz MT will help customers to increase production efficiency and reduce costs by drastically improving film quality and design flexibility of photo-curing resins. SDK is already selling isocyanate i·so·cy·a·nate n. Any of a family of nitrogenous chemicals that are used in industry and can cause respiratory disorders, especially asthma, if inhaled. monomer-based products (Karenz MOI, Karenz AOI AOI Area Of Interest AOI Automated Optical Inspection AOI Art of Illusion (3D modeling software) AOI Associated Oregon Industries AOI Angle Of Incidence AOI Age of Innocence (David Hamilton book, also a band) and Karenz BEI Bei (pā, bā), river, c.200 mi (320 km) long, formed by the union of two headstreams in the Nanling Mts., N Guangdong prov., S China. It flows S into the Xi River, E of Guangzhou, to form the Pearl River delta. ) that are blended with raw material resins to give photo-curing property. With the launch of Karenz MT, SDK is planning to almost double the sales of Karenz series products, to 1.5 billion yen, by 2008. SDK will make presentations on Karenz MT at the meetings of RadTech Japan on April 13 and The Society of Polymer Science, Japan on May 25. About Showa Denko K.K.
