Arkema Completes ISCC PLUS Certification for All Acrylic Monomers Sites

Arkema has earned ISCC PLUS certification for acrylic monomers at all of its production sites worldwide, including Carling, France; Clear Lake, Texas (US); Taixing, China; and Bayport, Texas (US). 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. 

“Arkema is among the first providers to offer local supply of bio-attributed acrylic monomers, using a Mass Balance approach, at a truly global scale,” says Hervé Castres Saint Martin, group president for Acrylic Monomers at Arkema. “By focusing on certification for acrylic monomers at this scale, we are setting the stage for strategic product carbon footprint reduction initiatives through Arkema’s bio-attributed acrylic resins and additives and across the industry acrylics value chain.”

These certifications are a key step in the introduction of a global and complete range of bio-attributedspecialty resins and additives, including high solids, waterborne, UV-LED-EB, and polyester powder materials across many different industries.
