Certified monomer network to support low-carbon projects
These certifications are part of the company's global Mass Balance offer roadmap. With a globally certified acrylic monomer network, Arkema can support easy, fast and cost-effective lower product carbon footprint projects from customers across the acrylic value chain – with end user solutions in coatings, adhesives, new mobility, building efficiency, living comfort, engineered polymers, leather, textiles, hygiene and water treatment.
Hervé CASTRES SAINT MARTIN, group president for acrylic monomers commented, “Arkema is one of the first suppliers to offer local sourcing of bio-assigned acrylic monomers using the Mass Balance approach on a truly global scale. By focusing on acrylic monomer certification at this scale, we are paving the way for strategic decarbonization initiatives through Arkema’s bio-assigned acrylic resins and additives and across the entire acrylics value chain in the industry. Our Mass Balance approach will help create economies of scale for more renewable and recycled raw materials.”
These certifications will accompany the gradual introduction of a full range of specialty resins and bio-attributed additives, including high solids, water-based, UV-LED-EB resins as well as powdered polyester resins across different industries.
