We develop a wide range of products from daily commodities that are necessary in our everyday lives to high-value-added products that support advanced technology in the following applications.
We deliver products with more convenience and comfort to contribute to a rich society.
We supply tackifiers that improve the adhesive strength of adhesives and adhesive agents or tapes. Also polymerization emulsifiers necessary for producing synthetic rubber tires, ester gums that improve chewing sensations. Moreover our world-class brand ARKONTM, a hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin which we first marketed half a century ago has grown as our main product due to the expansion of demand for sanitary materials such as disposable diapers worldwide. Our hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin ARKONTM and ultra-light Rosin Pine Crystal are used in highly specialized fields such as medical patches and 3D printer-related components..
Physical and optical properties of films can be improved by compounding the polymer with ARKON resins. The excellent UV and thermal stability of ARKONTM maintains the product’s performance for extended periods. ARKONTM P-grades are especially compatible with polyolefins.
Arakawa resins are suitable to be mixed with several types of rubber and thermoplastic elastomers as they are available at different polarity degrees.
Arakawa Europe distributes high quality hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins and rosins derivatives to be used in the coatings and inks industry.
Further applications of Arakawa products are in: depilatory wax, solder flux, processing aids in elastomer production, fuel, carbon black feedstock. Please, contact us for further information.
