TENAC / TENAC-C (Asahi Kasei)

Production and sales began in May 1972 for homopolymer and in December 1985 for copolymer. Asahi Kasei is the world only producer of both homopolymer and copolymer polyacetal.

Capacity
- Okayama, Japan 44,000 T/y(20,000 T/y homopolymer, 24,000 T/y copolymer).
- Zhangjiagang, China　20,000 T/y copolymer.
