Key facts
- Toray to Launch Next-Generation RO Membrane for Seawater Desalination, Achieving Industry-Leading Salt Rejection
- Toray Industries, Inc. has developed the 'TSW-K/M/V series', a next-generation reverse osmosis (RO) membrane for seawater desalination that achieves industry-leading salt and boron rejection rates alongside superior chemical resistance. Scheduled for launch in October 2026, the series reduces salt permeability by up to 55% compared to conventional models, enabling single-stage desalination processes and lowering total operational costs. The product will be showcased at SIWW starting June 15.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What are the features of the new product developed by Toray?
- A: The 'TSW-K/M/V Series' is a next-generation seawater desalination RO membrane with top-level salt and boron removal rates and high chemical resistance. It reduces salt permeability by up to 55% compared to previous models.
- Q: What are the benefits of introducing the new product to facilities?
- A: In new seawater desalination facilities, the RO membrane treatment process can be reduced from two stages to one. Additionally, existing two-stage facilities can expect reduced operational load and energy savings.
- Q: When will the 'TSW-K/M/V Series' be available for sale?
- A: Sales are scheduled to begin in October 2026.
- Q: How was the performance of the new product measured?
- A: Performance was measured under conditions of feed pressure 5.52 MPa, feed temperature 25°C, feed concentration 32,000 mg/L (as NaCl) / 5 mg/L (as boron), and recovery rate 8%.
- Q: Where can I see the actual product?
- A: The product will be displayed at the Toray booth (L1-H06) at the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) in Singapore from June 15, 2026.
