Kuraray to end production of acrylic block copolymer by June 2026

Kuraray will cease the production of Kurarity at the end of June 2026.

Kuraray Co. announces its decision to end the production and sale of Kurarity acrylic block copolymer.

Since the commercialization of Kurarity in 2012, Kuraray has striven to expand operations related to this product by releasing variations suitable for a diverse range of applications. However, due to the ongoing harshness of the business environment, we have judged that it will be extremely difficult to secure sufficient profit to sustain these operations and maintain stable production going forward.

Accordingly, Kuraray will cease the production of Kurarity at the end of June 2026.
