Functional Polymers

ADEKA has been at the forefront of functional polymer development since the commercialization of our first epoxy plasticizer in 1954 and epoxy resin in 1965. As a leading supplier of specialty chemicals, we continue to innovate with cutting-edge technologies to meet evolving market demands. Our range of functional polymers, including specialty epoxy resins, hardeners, and diluents, are integral to industries like automotive, electronics, construction, and daily commodities, making them indispensable to modern life.

Our epoxy resins are renowned for their versatility and performance, providing superior handling, adhesiveness, flexibility, and durability. They are widely used in coatings, electrical components, adhesives, and civil engineering applications. As an integrated manufacturer of epoxy resins, diluents, and curing agents, we continuously develop new technologies to enhance the functionality of these materials. Our epoxy diluents help to lower viscosity without compromising the essential properties of the resins, ensuring optimal performance in applications like solvent-free coatings and flooring.

ADEKA is also a major producer of polyols, supplying the raw materials for polyurethane products used in heat insulation, foam cushioning, and environmentally friendly waterborne polyurethane resins. These waterborne resins, developed with our advanced polyol and emulsification techniques, are increasingly in demand for their eco-conscious properties. They are used in a wide range of applications, from paints and coatings to adhesives, providing high chemical, heat, and humidity resistance while being non-hazardous and environmentally friendly.

In addition, we offer specialty low-chlorine epoxy resins and curing agents for electronic materials, which provide exceptional adhesion to difficult surfaces like non-ferrous metals and polyimides, as well as fast curing at low temperatures. Our urethane resins, available in ether and ester polyol types, are used in a broad spectrum of applications, from flexible to rigid foams, coatings, and adhesives, delivering excellent mechanical and physical performance.

With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and quality, ADEKA’s functional polymers are designed to meet the diverse needs of modern industries, contributing to efficient, eco-friendly, and high-performance solutions across a wide range of sectors.
