UBE Corporation: A Century of Chemistry, Built for the Future.

Founded in 1897 in Ube, Japan, UBE Corporation has grown from a coal mining enterprise into a global specialty chemicals leader. Operating across Japan, Asia, North America, Europe, and South America, UBE's portfolio spans high-performance polymers, fine chemicals, separation membranes, composites, and urethane systems. Guided by the founding principle of "Coexistence and mutual prosperity," UBE's purpose is Breaking Through with the Chemistry of Hope: creating value for society, minimizing environmental impact, and contributing to a sustainable future.

UBE's vision is to be a Success Driver through innovative technology and operational excellence, delivering reliable, cost-competitive solutions backed by world-class R&D.

In 2025, UBE strengthened its global position through the acquisition of the Urethane Systems business from LANXESS. With technical centers in the United States, Europe, and China, five manufacturing sites worldwide, and over 70 years of application expertise, UBE Urethane Systems stands as one of the world's leading polyurethane manufacturers.

At CHINACOAT, UBE presents three core coating solutions:

Polycarbonate Diol (PCD) ETERNACOLL Series

• UBE is a world-leading supplier of Polycarbonate Diol under the ETERNACOLL Series. As a premium raw material for polyurethane resins, PCD significantly enhances durability, heat resistance, hydrolysis resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and weatherability. It is purpose-built for high-performance synthetic leather, thermoplastic urethane, and coatings requiring exceptional longevity, with a wide grade range available to suit diverse application needs.

• Built on UBE's PCD technology, our Waterborne PUDs are environmentally friendly coating materials that use water as the primary solvent, reducing VOC emissions substantially. They deliver superior toughness and durability across heat, hydrolysis, chemical, abrasion, and weather resistance. Widely used in water-based paints, adhesives, ink binders, and industrial coatings, UBE's PUDs are designed to meet both performance expectations and environmental compliance demands.

• UBE Urethane Systems is the inventor and first commercial supplier of low-free polyurethane prepolymers containing less than 0.1% free diisocyanate. As global regulations on diisocyanate concentrations tighten, these prepolymers help manufacturers achieve compliance while maintaining full product performance. UBE offers the industry's broadest product range across both aromatic and aliphatic diisocyanate types.
