Nippon Kayaku provides catalysts for the production of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid via direct oxidation method. Years of research and development have realized excellent stability and activity as well as long lifetime.
The most appropriate combinations of our sophisticated catalysts for each reactor are suggested through tests and examinations. Our engineering experts provide attentive support for catalyst loading in reactors and start-up of reaction when catalyst exchange and/or plant commissioning, and offer dedicated technical service whenever required. Our oxidation catalysts are highly evaluated by customers worldwide.

Example

Nippon Kayaku Catalysts are used to produce acrylic acid and methacrylic acid. Acrylic acid is a raw material for super absorbent polymers, acrylic paints, and adhesives. Methacrylic acid is usually esterified to MMA monomer, which is a feedstock for acrylic resins of which transparency and impact resistance are utilized as a substitute for glass, such as large aquarium.
