Synthetic Fibers
High-performance polymer processing technology creates unique fibers.
- Kanekalon™, Kanecaron™ (modacrylic fiber)
Developed using our own polymer technology, this modacrylic fiber, with its near authentic feel, high flame-retardancy and great resemblance to human and animal hair, enjoys a large market share.
Kanekalon™ is used in wigs and in the hair of dolls.
Kanecaron™ is used for high quality stuffed toys.
Kanecaron™ is also used in fake fur for bedspreads, cushion covers and other interior goods because of its realisctic appearance and soft texture.
Protex, a new Kanecaron fiber, produces flame-retardant cloth when blended with cotton, polyester and other fibers. - Kanecaron
- ULTIMA™
Kaneka is the first to succeed in developing a protein fiber made from collagen, which is very similar to true human hair in texture and function. Since genuine human hair is expected to be in short supply in the near future, great demand is foreseen for this innovative fiber.
