Versatile Absorption. Evolving Smart.

Nippon Shokubai's super absorbent polymer (SAP) is used in a variety of applications beyond sanitary materials like disposable diapers. Taking advantage of the unique characteristics of SAP, such as "excellent absorption stability," "absorbs various liquids," and "controls humidity," this SAP has evolved from conventional products.

We offer solutions tailored to your needs and requirements.

Examples of Uses:
Alkaline batteries, thermal insulation, roof waterproofing, air fresheners, pest repellents, special ice packs for constant-temperature transport, and anti-fogging and condensation.

Plant-based eco-friendly monomers

Example:
● 2-Octyl Acrylate(2-OA) and 2-Octyl Methacrylate(2-OMA) are made from non-edible raw material.
● 2-OA exhibits significantly lower skin irritation compared to 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate(2-EHA), even though both products have the same molecular weight. As a result, 2-OA enhances operator safety.
● 2-OA can serve as a suitable replacement for 2-EHA due to its similar reactivity as a monomer.

New method of manufacturing ionomer!

Soluble Zinc Acrylate ZINLEX™ is Complexes of zinc acrylate with two molecules of nitrogen-containing compounds.
The effect of the ligand improves the affinity with organic solvents/monomers
compared to zinc acrylate, making it more soluble.
It is possible to introduce an ionomer backbone simply by copolymerizing with various monomers.
A wide range of monomers is available, making it easy to design polymer structures.

Applications:
Rubber modification(to impart resilience)
