Product Information


MPC Biocompatible Material

MPC (2-methacryroyloxyethylphosphorylcholine)

MPC (2-methacryroyloxyethylphosphorylcholine) is a groundbreaking new biocompatible material. NOF became the first company in the world to build a commercial plant capable of producing MPC in forms of monomer to polymers. Because MPC has similar properties to those of cell membranes and contains a polymer substrate, it is highly affinitive to living organs and tissues. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, including eyecare products such as contact lenses and contact lens solutions, as well as cosmetics and medical devices.

Additional information


Ceracute®

Cosmetic ingredient
Ceracute® is NOF's original polymer which has been designed to imitate natural Ceramide which is one of main components of intercellular lipid. It shows a good affinity to skin thanks to the similarity in the natural Ceramide structure, and also has an excellent anti-ageing property which does not exist in natural Ceramide.

· For skin care
Ceracute® lifts up wrinkle and improves skin elasticity effectively thanks to the fine polymer network structure formed on the surface of the skin. Also, Ceracute® does not give strained feeling like conventional film formers, but provides natural feeling to skin.

· For hair care
Ceracute® volumizes aged or damaged hair because not only its elastic film is formed on the surface of the hair, but it permeates inside of hair fiver and restores the inside structure. Also, the hair treated with Ceracute® does not show stiffness but natural texture.

Diagnostic and Research-Use Reagents

NOF has been developing test reagents to help researchers measure the level of oxidation stress in living organisms. Targeting on genes, lipids and sugars, NOF manufactures antibodies for various antigens formed by oxidation stress. These antibodies are supplied as measurement kits.

Going forward, NOF will continue to offer customers with new reagents for measuring oxidation stress. We hope to contribute not only to the diagnosis of diseases, but also to the development of new pharmaceutical products and other areas.
