This merger enabled the development of innovative dental products, including self-etching adhesives, advanced luting composites and esthetic zirconia blanks.Our flagship brands, including CLEARFIL, PANAVIA and KATANA, are recognized for their advanced technologies and contribute to minimally invasive dentistry.

Packaging plays an important role in the medical and pharmaceutical industry: it protects products from external contaminants, ensures that they remain effective for a defined minimum period by preventing oxidation, and avoids leakages of important ingredients. With EVAL™, Kuraray is Europe’s leading producer of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymers. EVAL™ has better gas barrier properties than conventional polymers, making it particularly suitable for pharmaceutical packaging. If it is combined with polyolefins, it acts as an efficient barrier to both gases and water. Some grades have USP Class VI certification and DMF, which facilitates the validation of new packaging.
