Arkema announced a partnership with the carrier ISMERT, part of the MGE Group, to address the challenge of reducing transportation emissions associated with its acrylic products.
Developed using proprietary living anionic polymerization technology, a new acrylic thermoplastic elastomer is suitable as an adhesive for masking tape, packaging, surface protection film, double-sided tape, and as an anti-slip film.
A new acrylic TPE is suitable as an adhesive for masking tape, packaging, surface protection film, double-sided tape, as an anti-slip film, and it has a wide range of applications beyond adhesives.
This will be the first commercial-scale production of bio-based 2-octyl acrylate, with high performance and ease of use in a broad range of applications.
By prioritizing a more diverse portfolio, such as one that incorporates both styrene acrylic- and acrylic-based latexes, companies can ensure they can adjust their production as needed.
Tim Pione, vice president, Advanced Packaging and Converting, Adhesives, at Arkema discusses the company’s pressure-sensitive adhesive products, including hot-melt, waterborne, UV, and specialty solution acrylics technologies.
