Capitalizing on its long-standing expertise in the manufacture of Rilsan 11 high performance biopolymer derived from vegetable castor oil, Arkema aims to develop and valorize its products made from renewable raw materials by launching the Arkema Renewables label.
Two new Arkema products from renewable raw materials are being launched at the Kunststoffe 2007 tradeshow: - Pebax Rnew: the first range of thermoplastic elastomers produced from renewable raw materials, directly inspired by the chemistry of polyamide 11, a castor oil derivative.
Pebax Rnew offers the same outstanding properties as Pebax, and fits perfectly into the eco-design concept.
- Platamid Rnew: derived from 100% renewable raw materials, a new concept for thermoplastic hotmelt adhesives which, over the past 40 years, have brought efficient solutions to the most demanding bonding challenges.
