Arkema, a leader in Specialty Materials, has launched its new range ENCOR® bio-based waterborne dispersions designed for textile printing and finishing applications. These binders, with up to 30% bio-based content, and up to 40% carbon footprint reduction compared to traditional textile resins, are supporting the textile industry's efforts to decrease their product’s carbon footprint, supporting a more sustainable lifestyle.

Arkema, a leader in specialty materials, is bringing together AkzoNobel, Omya, Beckers, ADEO and PPG to discuss how, collectively across the coatings industry, Carbon Footprint Reduction can be accelerated. Those trends include driving the change towards more sustainable paints for homes, lower carbon footprint materials and processes for the built environment, new coating applications for safer electric vehicle batteries.

Arkema, a leader in specialty materials, announces a breakthrough in new manufacturing processes that integrate up to 40% post-consumer recycled content from end-of-life packaging products into its powder coating resins. This new technology will empower end markets to better respond to increasing societal expectations to preserve resources and reduce climate impact.
