Torelina

The roster of PPS suppHers in Japan is much larger than in the United States. Multiple market presences in Japan include TOPPS (Toray PPS, formerly TO—PP, which was a joint venture between Toray and Phillips) Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, Inc. Tosoh Tohpren Kureha/Polyplastics and Idemitsu. PPS marketed by Toray is sold under the Torelina trademark. Production capacity in Japan was estimated in 1995 at 11,400 t of neat resin per year. At the time that this capacity was created, the situation in Japan was characterized by overcapacity and underutilization. Additionally, further PPS capacity was brought on by Sunkyong in Korea, which is marketing a low cost PPS product. Although excess PPS capacity still exists in Japan, market growth has narrowed the gap between supply and demand. 

In plastic films, Toray is a major world producer of BOPP film sold under the Torayfan trade name. In addition Toray offers Lumirror (polyester) film, Torelina (PPS) and Mictron (aramid).
