Arkema brings new China coating resins plant online

19-Nov-2013 - China

Arkema has officially started its new 60,000 MTY emulsion polymers facility on its Changshu platform. The plant, part of Arkema’s coating resins business unit, will serve customers in the Asia Pacific region with a full line of waterborne emulsion polymers for coatings and adhesives applications.

This new plant, which represented a $30 million investment, is located in Arkema’s Changshu manufacturing complex, the company’s largest manufacturing complex worldwide.

The plant produces a range of emulsion polymers used as binders for architectural coatings, building and construction products, adhesives and specialty coatings. The products include Encor® acrylic and styrene acrylic latexes; SNAP® nano-acrylic polymers; Celocor® opaque polymers; and Encor® Flex elastomeric latexes.

In addition to the waterborne products produced in the new plant, the company markets a comprehensive line of coatings raw materials, including solvent-borne resins, powder coating resins, and additives.

The new facility features state-of-the-art automation capabilities, and is adjacent to the company’s new research and development center, opened in fall 2013.
