Advanced materials
for a clearer, longer reach
For more than two decades, Acryl has focused on advanced chemical materials. Through two core platforms — polyetheramine and cyclic olefin polymer — we supply the critical materials behind wind power, optics, semiconductors, pharmaceutical packaging and high-performance coatings.
Three material platforms, one self-reliant value chain
Polyetheramine (PEA)
Amine compounds with terminal amino groups on poly(propylene oxide) / poly(ethylene oxide) backbones. Low viscosity, high strength, high toughness and excellent ageing resistance make them essential to wind-blade infusion and polyurea systems.
Cyclic Olefin Polymer COC / COP
Often called the "gold standard" of optical resins: outstanding light transmittance, very low birefringence and extremely low water absorption — for smartphone and automotive lenses, sensors and prefilled syringes.
Optical Monomers
Reactive optical material monomers: the isobornyl esters IBOA and IBOMA together with the cycloaliphatic grades NBOA and NBOMA. They balance hardness and flexibility, giving high gloss, distinctness of image and scratch resistance in UV-curable coatings, inks and adhesives.
Eleven years of research to bring the
"gold standard" optical resin home
Large-scale production technology for cyclic olefin polymers has long been concentrated among a small number of overseas producers. Since 2014 Acryl has worked on the two hardest problems — cyclic olefin monomer synthesis and the copolymerisation process — completing the full development chain in-house and building a kilotonne-scale line that now runs steadily and supplies downstream customers.
- A fully self-developed route from monomer through polymerisation to moulding
- Transmittance, birefringence and water absorption benchmarked against leading international grades
- Wuxi and Qianjiang sites working in tandem, with capacity released in stages
