Orgasol® polyamide 12 and Rilsan® polyamide 11 powders are high performance texturing additives for coatings. The main applications include coil coating and industrial coatings, to which they impart abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and matting effects.

Orgasol® powders provide soft-feel texturing, coating flexibility, and dry lubricant effects, thanks to their unique particle size distribution and morphology. They are easy to disperse in formulations used in can coating, wood coating and flooring.

Rilsan® Fine Powders are made from a renewable raw material, 100% bio-sourced, and exhibit a full dispersability in liquid paints and a regular particle size distribution, which provides even regular texturing, excellent coverage and uniform color effects. Beside the application as an additive in paint, Rilsan® is also used as a thermoplastic coating in automotive, appliance, and water treatment markets.Rilsan® coating is a proven solution for metal protection, with excellent corrosion and abrasion resistance, and outstanding impact resistance.

Arkema’s high performance and high added value Kynar® PVDF exhibits outstanding properties such as resistance to weathering, including proven 25-to-30 year resistance to UV, chemical attack, and pollution. Its reputation as a binder for paint is based on 40 years of development and experience. Various grades lend themselves to dispersion, dissolution, and spray coating methods. Kynar 500® is a premier finish for colorful metal buildings, advocated by paint manufacturers and architects for its unrivaled durability in metal finishes for airports, malls, banks, churches, sporting stadiums, office buildings, and hotels.Arkema has also developed a genuine breakthrough technology, Kynar Aquatec®, the first aqueous (solvent-free) PVDF/acrylic emulsion that can be applied to diverse substrates (wood, concrete, bitumen, etc.) as a coating for external walls and reflective roofs, which allows more energy-efficient air-conditioning in zones exposed to strong sunshine.

Safe for humans and for the environment, the polar aprotic solvent DMSO provides good dispersion properties and good solubility for polymers and prepolymers, in special formulations and waterborne finishes used for surface coatings (acrylic dispersions, paints, lacquers, waterborne formulations and inks).

Arkema has developed an improved, pleasant-odor version of dimethylsulfoxide called DMSO Evol®, designed specifically for the surface coating, cleaning, stripping, and other applications where n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) currently finds many uses.

Arkema Amines and Oxygenated solvents are used as synthesis intermediates, specialty monomers, catalysts for resins and

formulation additives.

In paints and inks, Alpamine® amines are used as neutralizing agents in waterborne paints or anti-skin agents in solvent-

based paints.

Hexasol® oxygenated solvents are used in next-generation water-based paints to improve key properties such as open application time

to extend the duration of film formation. In solvent-based formulations, they are used as diluents or in the synthesis of intermediates and resins.

Fascat® tin catalysts are organometallics specifically developed for the crosslinking of epoxy, urethane, polyester and acrylic coatings, adhesives, and alkyd resins. The main applications for Fascat® are the coating of metal automotive parts by electrodeposition and in auto-repair where Fascat® acts as a catalyst to cure urethane resins.Allied with Arkema’s ability to develop new catalysts, the performance of this range meets the increasing expectations of coating applicators.

Sartomer is a premier global supplier of acrylate/methacrylate monomers, oligomers, and other specialty chemicals. These low-VOC* products are widely used in ultraviolet light, electron beam, peroxide, and amine cure technologies to enhance the performance of inks, adhesives and sealants, coatings, and plastics in diverse applications (hardwood flooring, printing plates,

compact disks and DVDs, construction, electronics, furniture, and package coatings, for food, health and beauty items, etc.).

As part of Arkema, Sartomer offers customers global access to technology, manufacturing and service. This means more unique

solutions, dependable supply and consistently high quality products and services.

Sartomer products are marketed to formulators through a direct sales force and distributors throughout the world.

Arkema is one of the globe’s leading producers of basic acrylic monomers, marketed under the Norsocryl®

brand, and offers a range of products –glacial acrylic acid, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate and 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate– to enhance polymer performance.

Arkema also produces and markets, under the Norsocryl® brand, specialty (meth)acrylic monomers

that can be copolymerized with basic monomers to provide solventborne or waterborne polymers with specific properties like adhesion, especially in wet conditions, or cohesion (chemical and/or physical crosslinking), etc. They are widely used in polymers for paints, adhesives, textile, and inks. Some are also used as chemical intermediates to produce specialty monomers for the coatings market.

Through its subsidiary Sartomer, Arkema also produces and commercializes specialty acrylate and methacrylate monomers and oligomers, and specific ones based on renewable raw materials, under the brand Sarbio®.

Nanostructured polymers made with BlocBuilder® and Nanostrength® products offer proven benefits for many industries and applications including thermoplastics and thermosets, adhesives, acrylic and epoxy coatings, dispersing agents and polymeric stabilizers.

The BlocBuilder® regulators platform is especially well-suited for paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, dispersants, and surface treatment applications. The controlled radical polymerization process opens new design possibilities within dispersants and polymeric surfactants. BlocBuilder® regulators can also be used for the synthesis of well-controlled lattices improving the film formation and block properties of paints and coatings.

Arkema also offers Nanostrength®, a family of self-assembling acrylic block copolymers. Nanostrength® can be used for epoxy coatings, and high-end

structural adhesives, imparting enhanced mechanical properties such as impact resistance and flexibility without decreasing the glass transition

temperature or modulus. Additionally, developmental high-rubber grades used in hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives can

yield simplified formulations, reduced viscosity, and better mechanical resistance.
