Arkema Inc. receives regulatory approval to market its carbon nanotubes in the United States
This approval gives the green light to Arkema Inc., Arkema’s US subsidiary, to assist its existing and prospective customers in the US currently conducting research and application tests involving CNTs with their commercial development on a larger scale. This should boost worldwide sales of Arkema’s Graphistrength® masterbatches, which are already available in Europe and Asia.
In September 2009, Arkema announced the construction of a 400 ton/year CNT pilot production plant in France, confirming its global commitment to CNTs on a semi-industrial scale. The plant is due to come on stream early 2011.
