-ARKEMA will attend this year's JEC edition with a unique portfolio of Composites materials: STAND 5T40 - HALL 5
COLOMBES, France, February 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The composites market is a double challenge of performance and sustainability. Arkema's innovative and sustainable materials address some of the main challenges facing our society:
Through our Resins, Additives and Adhesives, Arkema offers higher performance and more sustainable solutions to meet the demands of the Composites market.
PI ADVANCED MATERIALS EXHIBITS FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH ARKEMA
After Arkema acquired a majority stake in PI Advanced Materials in South Korea, the two companies will showcase polyimide films that are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures while preserving dimensional stability, offering excellent electrical properties and flexibility.
PI Advanced Materials is a leading supplier of various types of polyimide films for various applications, particularly those suitable for the consolidation or curing of thermoset compounds and high temperature thermoplastics, spanning a wide range of thicknesses.
PI films are used in various industries including smart devices, electric vehicles, semiconductors, displays, aerospace and industrial applications.
SMART ADHESIVES: Bostik will reveal its adhesive solutions for joining and repairing composite parts, focusing on its MMA SAF structural adhesives
UNLOCKING THE FUTURE WITH ARKEMA UDX® TAPES: Arkema is proud to introduce a range of semi-finished composite products under the UDX® brand. These products take the form of unidirectional carbon fiber ribbons, each impregnated with high-performance thermoplastic polymers.
The main developments underway with UDX® tapes are high-pressure vessels for hydrogen and high-performance sports equipment.
BEYOND UDX® TAPES: FABRICS AND CHIPS - We also offer other semi-finished products based on UDX® tapes, such as fabrics and chips, for specific applications. Additionally, scraps from traditional UD tape processing can be shredded and recycled for other highly demanding applications.
BOOST SYSTEM STRENGTH: New Clearstrength® MBS core-shell hardening agents offer broad formulation versatility. Clearstrength® E980 has improved dispersion properties, while high-performance Clearstrength® XT152 is designed for lower polarity (meth)acrylic monomers and hydrophobic resins.
LOW VOC: Sartomer® reactive diluents, cross-linkers and binders reduce VOCs and improve mechanical properties in thermosets, thermoplastics and biocomposites. The offer includes organic options with more than 25% organic content.
THE SMART COMPOSITES OF TOMORROW - Compared to standard piezoelectric ceramics, Piezotech®-based sensors can be mounted on curved surfaces because they are flexible. Additionally, due to their polymeric nature, they can be integrated into the core of composite tanks and can be printed on large surfaces. The absence of toxic and non-recyclable heavy metals, their lightness and low energy consumption make them the materials of choice.
PARTNERSHIP: Arkema has partnered with WW technologies, a technology licensing company, and MultiMaterial-Welding, licensor of Woodwelding® technology, to provide an innovative fastening technique based on Rilsan® Polyamide 11. WW technologies offers efficient fastening solutions , cost-effective and sustainable that use ultrasonic energy to create joints in porous materials such as sandwich panels, polymers or incompatible foams. MultiMaterial-Welding is an expert in fastening technology logistics. Rilsan® Polyamide 11, which is 100% bio-based, is offered as the next generation fastening technology due to its exceptional mechanical properties, versatility in various designs and substrates and excellent application performance.
Drawing on its unique set of materials science expertise, Arkema offers a world-class portfolio of technologies to address the growing demand for new, sustainable materials. With the ambition of becoming an exclusive player in specialty materials by 2024, the Group is structured into three complementary, resilient and highly innovative segments dedicated to specialty materials (adhesive solutions, advanced materials and coating solutions), which represent approximately 91 % of group sales in 2022, and a well-positioned and competitive Intermediate segment. Arkema offers cutting-edge technological solutions to face the challenges of, among others, new energies, access to water, recycling, urbanization and mobility, and encourages permanent dialogue with all its shareholders. The Group recorded sales of around €11.5 billion in 2022 and operates in around 55 countries with 21,100 employees worldwide.
