Arkema places the protection of its employees, customers, consumers and the environment at the heart of its concerns.
In the case of carbon nanotubes, the effects of these products on health and the environment have yet to be established, and the existence of potential hazards by various routes, inhalation in particular, cannot be discarded. In the ligth of these uncertainties, Arkema is developing specific actions firstly tp prevent dissemination and exposure risks, and secondly to complete without delay its understanding and knowledge of the toxicological and ecotoxicological profile of its Graphistrength® multiwall carbon nanotubes.
Meanwhile, Arkema has chosen to adopt a fully transparent communication policy concerning the validated data to hand on hygiene, health and environmental aspects.
