Acrylic polymers are polymers formed by the free radical polymerization of acrylic acid. Generally, photopolymers of acrylic polymer are formed by polymerization of acrylic acid, whereas co-polymer is formed by polymerization between acrylic acid and maleic acid. Acrylic polymers find application in cleaning products’ formulations. Generally, homo- and co-polymer of acrylic acid are used in the production of laundry detergents, dishwashing products, and other cleaning products. The main function of acrylic polymers is to act as builders and anti-soil re-deposition agents. In detergent formulation, acrylic polymers have replaced traditionally used phosphate builders, which is toxic in nature and harmful to the environment. These polymers offer good dispersion and fabric softening properties, owing to which, they are prevalently used in laundry detergent, dishwashing, hard surface cleaning, and other such products.

The companies have initiated the following developments:
- In August 2021, BASF and SINOPEC will further expand their Verbund site in Nanjing, China. It includes the capacity expansion of several downstream chemical plants, including a new tert-butyl acrylate plant by using acrylic acid and isobutene of the existing Verbund as feedstock.
- In December 2020, Ashland Chemical Holdings Inc. increased production capacity for Aquaflow (Acrylic polymer) synthetic thickeners.
- In November 2019, Nippon Shokubai Indonesia, an Indonesian subsidiary of Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., obtained Halal certification in Indonesia from Lppom Mui, a Halal certification authority affiliated with Majelis Ulama Indonesia, about acrylic acid (AA) and acrylates. This will boost the sale of acrylic polymers in the region.
