Overview

SNOWTEX® Plant (Toyama)

SNOWTEX® Products

Nissan Chemical has continuously supplied nano-colloids to a variety of industries for over 60 years using our unique particle control technology.

In 1951 Nissan Chemical started production of its SNOWTEX® colloidal silica's for use in the treatment of textiles. Due to the unique properties of SNOWTEX® it was quickly adopted by other industries such as investment casting, paper, steel and refractory. More recently the use of SNOWTEX® has expanded into leading edge technologies for semiconductor polishing, display hard coatings and electrical insulation. SNOWTEX® is now considered an indispensable product for a wide variety of applications.

In 1996 with ever growing demand for SNOWTEX® and other inorganic materials such as ORGANOSILICASOL and NanoUse® Nissan Chemical built a production facility in Houston, Texas. The plant was built to serve markets in the United States and Europe which leads further establishing Nissan Chemicals position as a comprehensive supplier of inorganic materials.
