Structural polymer applications require epoxy systems that deliver mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and electrical performance. Our EPON™ epoxy resins and EPIKURE™ curing agents provide controlled cure chemistry for composites, structural adhesives, and advanced polymer applications.
Polymers & Resins
Polymer and resin manufacturers are under pressure to deliver lighter, stronger, and more sustainable materials while accelerating innovation and managing increasingly complex supply chains.
Nagase America provides end-to-end polymer capabilities — from base resins, additives, and pigments to custom compounding, formulation support, and commercialization — backed by deep technical expertise and global infrastructure that helps bring advanced materials to market with confidence.
Performance-Driven Polymers & Resins Solutions
Focus Areas
Advanced Resin Systems for Polymer Innovation
Functional Fillers for Compounding
Filled polymer compounds must achieve stiffness, dimensional stability, and processing efficiency without sacrificing weight or cost targets. Our Mistron®, Nicron®, and JetFil® talcs provide controlled morphology and surface chemistry to enhance polymer modification and compounding performance in polypropylene, nylon, and engineering resins.
Our Hubercarb® calcium carbonate supports density control, opacity, and cost-efficient compound design across polymer film, sheet, and molded applications.
Pigments & Colorants for Plastics
Polymer coloration requires heat-stable, durable pigment systems that maintain performance across processing and end-use environments. Our pigment portfolio from Vibrantz, ISK, and Eagle Specialty Products supports consistent color development across thermoplastic and thermoset systems.
Our Raven™ and Conductex® carbon blacks provide UV protection, conductivity, and deep black coloration for demanding polymer applications such as outdoor exposure and antistatic compounds.
Adhesion, Compatibilization & Sustainable Polymer Systems
Multi-material and sustainable polymer systems require adhesion and compatibilization solutions that perform across substrates and recycling pathways. Our maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin resins enable interlayer adhesion and compatibilization in polymer blends and multi-material structures.
Our VINAVIL® waterborne systems and specialty polymer intermediates support low-VOC and recyclable polymer formulations, accelerating development and qualification.
Flame Retardants for Compounding
Safety, regulatory compliance, and material performance increasingly depend on advanced flame-retardant systems that balance fire resistance, processability, and mechanical integrity. We provide a comprehensive portfolio of halogen-free flame-retardant technologies — including alumina trihydrate (ATH) fillers such as ALUPREM® and specialty phosphorus-based chemistries — supported by global sourcing, formulation guidance, and compounding expertise.
These solutions help compounders reduce smoke generation, improve thermal stability, and meet evolving flammability standards across wire & cable, electrical components, transportation, and durable consumer applications.
