Arkema has earned ISCC PLUS certification of its specialty (meth)acrylate oligomers and monomers production sites in Chatham, Virginia, and West Chester, Pennsylvania. As a result, the company can now offer bio-attributed energy-curable solutions from its UV-LED-EB resin production facilities worldwide.
This network includes the recently certified sites in the United States as well as in Nansha, China, and Villers-St-Paul, France. Arkema reports that these Sartomer® solutions are used across a wide range of applications, including performance coatings, adhesives, inks, electronics, green mobility, living comfort, 3D printing, and more.
“ISCC PLUS is an important certification for our industry, and we can now offer customers worldwide access to our bio-attributed UV-LED-EB oligomers and monomers. This achievement also expands our network of certified facilities in support of diverse industries and technologies, helping companies across the value chain to reach their objectives of carbon footprint reduction,” said Stephanie Montag, regional president at Sartomer Americas
The range of Sartomer bio-attributed solutions helps to reduce the product carbon footprint and reinforces the established bio-based offer, which includes oligomers and monomers with up to 85% biobased content. Select products also feature the USDA Certified Biobased Product label through the USDA BioPreferred® Program.
The ISCC PLUS certification of products made at these Arkema manufacturing site adds to the Arkema Coating Solutions certifications worldwide. Arkema explained that its strategy is to progressively introduce a complete range of bio-attributed specialty resins and additives, including high solids, waterborne, UV-LED-EB, and polyester powder materials.
