Arkema anounced that its SYNAQUA 4856 alkyd has been approved to carry the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label. SYNAQUA 4856 alkyd is made from 97% biobased raw materials coming from byproducts of predominately NORDIC foresting, and is APEO, ammonia, solvent and plasticizer free. SYNAQUA® 4856 alkyd can help formulators achieve a wide range of desirable benefits in their interior wall paint and primer formulations, including gloss potential, chemical and scrub resistance, hardness development and more.
The biobased label assures that the percentage of renewable biobased content is third-party certified and strictly monitored by the USDA. The label is part of the USDA-led BioPreferred® Program that assists the development and expansion of markets for biobased products. Biobased products are derived from plants and other forestry materials rather than conventional petroleum-based products.
SYNAQUA 4856 alkyd is a waterborne binder that offers the right balance of properties for interior low emission matte to gloss paints that can provide a range of benefits, including low VOC capabilities, good hardness, yellowing resistance, good whiteness, high gloss (where desired), good drying and more.
According to a report commissioned in 2021 by USDA Rural Development An Economic Impact Analysis of the U.S. Biobased Products Industry, the biobased industry is a substantial generator of economic activity and jobs, and has a significant positive impact on the environment. The biobased industry has contributed a total of $470 billion value added to the U.S. economy, supported a total of 4.6 million American jobs through direct, indirect and induced contributions, and biobased products displace about 9.4 million barrels of oil a year.
Arkema focuses key aspects of its sustainability and innovation research on solutions to eliminate HAPs and other hazardous materials from work processes, a wide range of waterborne and high solids products, and others including bio-based products using renewable raw materials to produce green chemicals and bioplastics.
