Demand weakened for adhesive products as the movement of people and things ground to a halt, and this led to weak sales of mainstay release paper. Sales also decreased steeply for casting paper for synthetic leather, which is offered globally, and casting paper for carbon fiber composite materials, which is used to pro-duce leisure items and intermediate materials for aircraft bodies, owing to lockdowns in countries and a slump in aircraft demand. On the other hand, sales were firm for release film for optical displays, thanks to a surge in teleworking and stay-at-home demand in the second half. As a medium- to long-term initiative, this business operation is committed to addressing environmental issues. We are working to reduce the usage of chemical substances that burden the environ-ment by establishing and expanding the adoption of formulas that do not use organic solvents in the production of release paper. At the same time, noting the move away from plastic, we are develop-ing and proposing release paper that does not use polyolefin resins derived from petrochemical raw materials. One such product that is the focus of our attention is casting paper for synthetic leather. Sales for items used to produce synthetic leather for products, such as automobile seats and interiors, have been particularly strong. We therefore aim to expand sales in a broad range of applications, • Casting papers for synthetic leather• Casting papers for carbon fiber composite materials¥ Billion2418122018(Fiscal years ended / ending March 31)LINTEC Integrated Report 2021(Forecast)Net Sales: Converted Products Operations39Business Operations IntroductionWe manufacture and sell release paper and film that protect the adhesive surfaces of various adhesive products, casting paper that is used as patterning paper for placing designs on synthetic leather, casting paper used in the manufacture of carbon fiber composite material sheets from fibers, and other products.
