Catalysts are highly important materials that are used in the manufacture of raw materials for many of the finished products we see around us every day. The quality of the catalysts controls the production cost, and consequently, has a considerable impact on the price of the finished products.
Nippon Kayaku has been developing, manufactureing, and selling catalysts for the production of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid (by direct oxidation method). These products have been highly rated by our customers.
Acrylic acid finds use as raw material in the production of SAPs (super absorbent polymers) used in disposable diapers, etc., acrylic paints for automobiles, and adhesives.
Methacrylic acid is used in FPDs, light-guide plate and other optical applications, as well as in products such as transparent plastics used for giant aquarium tank, automotive parts, and artical marble.
