AmericanAcryl is a 50-50 joint venture formed in 1997 between Nippon Shokubai (Japan) and Arkema (France).  AmericanAcryl owns and operates a manufacturing facility located in the Pasadena Industrial District.

The plant manufactures two products: (1) acrylic acid and (2) butyl acrylate.

The Acrylic Acid manufacturing unit makes acrylic acid using a process that reacts propylene (petroleum gas) with oxygen (air) to produce acrylic acid.  The plant runs year-round on a 24-hour schedule and is owned and operated by AmericanAcryl.

The Butyl Acrylate manufacturing unit makes butyl acrylate using a process that combines acrylic acid with butanol (butyl alcohol) to produce butyl acrylate. The unit is owned by Arkema and operated by TOTAL.

Our Products and Markets

The AmericanAcryl facility produces acrylic acid, a chemical widely used in the manufacture of personal care and household products, including such items as disposable diapers, hand lotion, detergent, shampoo, acrylic yarn and water-based acrylic paints.  Acrylic acid is also a feedstock for the manufacture of butyl acrylate.

Our History

AmericanAcryl is located on approximately 70 acres situated at the southeast corner of the intersection of Port Rd and Old Highway 146.
