Chemicals & Processing

Reliable custom solutions

Many factors have to be taken into account in the operation of a chemical or processing plant. Arkema’s products offer solutions tailored to your needs.

The Most Effective Corrosion Prevention Solutions

Corrosion is probably the most potentially harmful problem installations face, and all manufacturers have a responsibility to prevent it. Arkema products make it easier to operate production facilities.

Kynar® polyvinylidene fluoride is one of the most corrosion-resistant materials available in the market. Arkema is the world’s leading producer of polyvinylidene fluoride resins, which are used in linings and injection-molded parts for pipes, fittings, and valves.

We also help manufacturers to meet strict environmental regulations through Ceca’s full-service activated carbon program, which is used to design the most efficient custom solutions to treat process wastewater.

Arkema’s amines are used in a broad array of industries and applications, including:

Emulsification: textiles, varnishes, pesticides, and hydrocarbon emulsions.

Corrosion inhibition: metalworking fluids, lubricants, and coatings. Nitrogen-based corrosion inhibitors, synthesized using an amine, are utilized in a wide variety of industries.

Monomers, polymers, and rubber: amines act as intermediates for a broad range of monomers and polymers in applications as diverse as resins, plastics, rubber, and textiles.

Diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA): used as a shortstopping agent in PVC.

Petroleum and petrochemical: emulsion breakers, antioxidants, sludge prevention, lubricating oil additives, and gas treating.

Agrochemical: alkylamines are important chemical intermediates used in the manufacture of many types of herbicides and pesticides.

Metalworking: isopropylaminoethanol (IPAE) and N-butylaminoethanol (BAE) work extremely well with biocides, extending coolant life

Sartomer manufactures and markets a complete line of monomers used as raw materials for the chemical industry.
These specialy acrylates and methacrylate are widely used in polyacrylate synthesis as co-monomers or crosslinkers.
Application examples include:

• High solid Polyacrylate resins
• Solvent and waterborne resins
• Oil and Fuel additives
• Wetting additives
• Textile additives
• Superabsorbents
• Concrete admixtures additives
