 Osaka
Organic offers over 50 alkyl and multi-functional acrylates
that are used both in conventional and radiation curable
coatings. Osaka Organic has the unique ability to respond
quickly to customer requirements for special products

Organic are 4 hydroxybutyl acrylate and Methoxy PEG
monoacrylate (MPEG 550 Acrylate), both of which offer
paint resin manufacturers significantly better properties
over traditional monomers.
Osaka Organic Chemical also makes specialty acrylate
oligomers, dioxolane, and "SNOVA", an artificial
acrylic snow for indoor skiing. Their specialty organic
chemical group manufactures pharmaceutical intermediates
or API's such as Aryl boronic esters, chiral glycidic
