Bond Factory

What Bond Factory does

Bond Factory (株式会社BondFactory) is a privately held Japanese specialty-chemical manufacturer founded in December 2013 and headquartered in Ebisu, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. The company designs, manufactures, and sells cyanoacrylate-based adhesives formulated specifically for eyelash extensions, along with an acetone-free gel remover. All products are manufactured entirely in Japan using domestically sourced cyanoacrylate raw materials that comply with Japanese formaldehyde safety standards, and the company positions this 100% domestic-production credential as a primary differentiator against foreign-made adhesives in the Japanese market. R&D and analytical work is conducted at RIKEN Incubation Plaza, where samples and custom formulations are developed. Bond Factory holds Patent No. 6473911 for a cyanoacrylate-containing composition (filed Dec 25, 2014; registered Feb 8, 2019), and employs a proprietary Direct Pigment Addition Technique (顔料直接添加法) and fullerene-based pigment technology that inhibit radical polymerization and prevent adhesive degradation.

The company's product portfolio spans four adhesive chemistries — ethyl cyanoacrylate, butyl cyanoacrylate, ethoxyethyl cyanoacrylate, and block copolymer mixed types — available across multiple viscosity grades (5 to 1000 mPa·s) and colorant options (fullerene, carbon black, non-carbon). All manufacturing is conducted on a make-to-order basis with 3-week to 1-month lead times, addressing the inherent degradation problem of pre-made cyanoacrylate inventory. The company's go-to-market is exclusively B2B indirect: Bond Factory does not sell direct to salons and instead serves manufacturers and trading companies through OEM relationships, with a medical advisory partnership with W Clinic (Dr. Mayumi Adachi) providing safety and skin-compatibility oversight. The corporate website supports Japanese, English, and Chinese to facilitate international OEM inquiries. Bond Factory is founder-led by President and Representative Director Shimoda Yusaku (下田 優作), with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors — appearing to be entirely bootstrapped.

Core offering

Bond Factory is a Tokyo-based OEM manufacturer that develops and produces eyelash extension adhesives formulated from cyanoacrylate compounds (ethyl, butyl, ethoxyethyl, and block copolymer variants) as well as gel removers. Its products are supplied to manufacturers and trading companies/distributors, which in turn handle distribution to downstream beauty salons and brand owners. The company holds Japanese Patent No. 6473911 covering a cyanoacrylate composition and applies proprietary techniques including direct pigment addition, fullerene pigment technology, and a special carbon black formulation.

Product overview

Bond Factory is a Japanese manufacturer specializing in eyelash extension adhesives (cyanoacrylate-based glues) and gel removers. The core product line consists of four types of eyelash extension glues made from domestically-produced cyanoacrylate: ethyl cyanoacrylate, butyl cyanoacrylate, ethoxyethyl cyanoacrylate, and block copolymer types. Each glue is available in multiple viscosity options (ranging from 5 to 1000 mPa·s) and color variants using carbon black, fullerene, or non-carbon pigments. The product portfolio also includes an acetone-free gel remover. All products are manufactured entirely in Japan under a make-to-order production model to ensure quality stability, as cyanoacrylate deteriorates over time after manufacture. The company also offers OEM/manufacturing services for custom adhesive formulations.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• D-UP: D-UP is a Japanese beauty brand with eyelash extension adhesive and cosmetic products. Operates in the same Japanese eyelash extension market as Bond Factory with overlapping customer base (salons and beauty professionals), though likely focused on branded retail rather than OEM manufacturing.
• Koji (Dolly Lash): Koji Honpo is a major Japanese eyelash extension brand offering Dolly Lash and other eyelash adhesive products. While primarily a brand/retailer rather than pure OEM manufacturer, it competes in the same Japanese eyelash extension adhesive market and could be a customer, competitor, or substitute supplier to Bond Factory's OEM clients.

Broad incumbents

• Henkel (Loctite): Henkel's Loctite brand is a global leader in industrial cyanoacrylate adhesives, with comparable underlying chemistry to Bond Factory's products. Operates at massive scale across industrial assembly, electronics, and medical applications, representing a potential large entrant threat if the company decides to enter the beauty adhesive niche.
• Toagosei: Toagosei is a Japanese chemical manufacturer and the originator of Aron Alpha, the world's most recognized cyanoacrylate instant adhesive brand. Directly comparable to Bond Factory in core cyanoacrylate chemistry, but operates at industrial scale serving construction, automotive, and consumer markets rather than the eyelash extension niche.
• Pidilite Industries: Pidilite Industries is the largest adhesive manufacturer in Asia (Fevicol brand), with diverse adhesive portfolios including cyanoacrylate-based products. Comparable in terms of adhesive manufacturing expertise and Asian market presence, though operating primarily in construction and industrial segments rather than beauty.
• 3M: 3M is a diversified global manufacturer with an extensive specialty adhesives portfolio, including cyanoacrylate and other bonding chemistries. While serving broader industrial applications, 3M's R&D and distribution capabilities represent a potential large-scale competitor if the beauty eyelash adhesive segment becomes attractive enough.

Regional players

• Sekisui Chemical: Sekisui Chemical is a Japanese diversified chemical manufacturer with specialty adhesive and tape products. Operates in the same Japanese industrial adhesives landscape as Bond Factory with broader product lines, representing a potential Japan-based competitor or acquirer for eyelash extension adhesive technology.

Emerging players

• Stacy Lash: Stacy Lash is a Poland-based eyelash extension adhesive brand with international distribution, including products in Japanese and European markets. Directly competes with Bond Factory's OEM customers in the international eyelash extension adhesive space, particularly with Korean, Russian, and European-made alternatives.
