Arkema to Expand UV Curable Resins Capacity at Facility in China
The new expansion is scheduled to come on stream in the second half of 2023.
Arkema recently announced a project to double its UV curable resins production capacity at its Nansha plant in China. Arkema reports that the expansion will support the growing demand in Asia for electronics, driven by 5G technology, and in renewable energies.
The increase in production capacity is aligned with the group’s strategy to develop its Coating Solutions segment with high-value-added solutions and reinforce its downstream acrylics activities in Asia. It will enable Arkema to grow its high-performance and solvent-free solutions portfolio for UV curing, marketed under the flagship Sartomer® brand.
