Bio-based and bio-attributed coating solutions

Arkema leads in developing waterborne technologies with bio-based raw materials and low carbon feedstock such as:

Synaqua^® bio based waterborne resins with up to 97% renewable based content, combine the performance properties of alkyd-based coatings with the advantages of water-based formulations. This innovation enhances paint performance by reducing emission of hazardous substances and by minimizing the carbon footprint.
Crayvallac^® performance bio additives combine performance & sustainability with their castor derivatives and bio-based polyamide additives. With a bio-content from 60 up to 100%, these rheology modifiers contribute to improve circularity and promote the use of non-fossil feedstocks.

The company will also progressively introduce powder & acrylic based bio mass-balance solutions as a complementary pathway to support our customers with drop-in high-performance solutions, more circular sourcing, and to reduced carbon footprint solutions.

Climate Conscious Technologies for cool surfaces

Arkema offers a range of cool roofing technologies to enhance indoor thermal comfort and reduce air conditioning consumption. These include the unique combination of two resins, Kynar Aquatec^®, a super durable reflective paint and Encor^®, an acrylic elastomeric emulsion for waterproofing and durability with 2 additives, Coapur™ PU thickeners for better compatibility and control and Coadis™, a dispersant for improved whiteness and stability.

Energy-efficient Solutions

As industries are facing rising energy costs, stricter emission regulations, and a move towards a lower carbon intensive applications; Arkema offers energy efficient solutions with Sartomer^® UV-LED and EB curing technologies which are low VOC and low carbon intensive coating technologies.

Reafree^® powder coating resins offer formulators a wide range of high performance products with low temperature cure powder solutions, which reduce the carbon footprint of the end user process.

VALUE CHAIN PARTNERSHIPS AND MASS BALANCE: KEY ENABLERS TO ACCELERATE THE SHIFT TOWARD CIRCULATIONS SOLUTIONS

For the world to change, we must change the materials we use. To move towards a circular economy and reduce the impact of goods & services on the climate and the environment, we need to address both how products are designed and how they enable more sustainable performance in use. In the design phase, one of the challenges is to replace virgin fossil feedstocks by feedstocks coming from biomass or recycled origins. The mass balance approach is a virtuous method to accelerate the transition and allow capex intensive supply chains the access to renewable feedstocks. The approach is framed by robust certification schemes applied across the whole value chain to ensure a full traceability from the feedstocks to the end products. Partnerships across the value chain is a key enabler to facilitate the shift and contribute actively to a reduction of carbon emissions

WATERBORNE ALKYD EMULSION, A BIO-BASED & LOW CARBON SOLUTION FOR WALL, WOOD AND METAL DECORATIVE PAINTS

Consumer expectations for efficient home and indoor well-being include health, protection, durability, and user-friendly application with minimal environmental impact. This results in lower odor, easy formulation with waterborne additives, and a lower environmental footprint. As resin technologies advance toward bio-based materials and lower carbon footprints, Arkema leads in developing waterborne technologies with bio-based raw materials and low carbon feedstock. This innovation aligns with sustainability goals, enhancing paint performance by reducing hazardous substances, minimizing the carbon footprint by using low carbon feedstock in decorative paints for walls, wood, and metal applications.

ACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND REDUCE ENERGY COMSUMPTION OF BUILDING WITH COOL ROOF

Cool roofing is emerging as an efficient and economical solution to improve living confort and building efficiency by lowering building temperatures and costs for air conditioning. The idea is simple: a white roof coating that reflects the sun’s rays during periods with lots of sunlight, aiming to improve living comfort. Many building roofs can be converted into cool roofing.
Arkema is supporting this Cool Roofing initiative and is implementing various solutions to support it, in order to act in energy savings not only through its internal actions on its processes and products but also as a sustainable solution support.
