The New Age of Construction: Silane Modified Polymer (SMP) Technology
About the Provider
Since the 1949 founding of Kaneka Corporation in Japan, Kaneka has become a global leader in fermentation technology, starting with the production of baker's yeast. Over the years, our fermentation technologies have led to innovations in ribonucleic acid protein (RNP) and developments in Single Cell Protein.
