Welcome to the research and development organization of Arkema!

R&D is the lifeblood of a technology enterprise. It is the engine of growth and a major contributor to earnings. By acquainting the reader with our research activities, physical infrastructure and organization, we aim to be of service to our customers, industrial and academic collaborators, visitors, and also to our new employees.

We work closely with our businesses and customers. Our work covers the whole spectrum - from exploratory work through projects in their conceptual, feasibility, developmental, and commercialization phases. In addition, a significant portion of our work is aimed at providing technical support to our businesses and to our manufacturing facilities.

We also work closely with the company's business and and headquarters in France . To optimize their investment value, our research portfolios are managed for growth potential, quality, efficiency and speed. Research methodologies increasingly involve high-throughput techniques such as statistical or combinatorial methods, automation, robotics, simulation, and mathematical modeling.

Our R&D community is proud of our emphasis on safety, health and the environment. We support the company's efforts in product stewardship, and we strive to be viewed as a good neighbor in our community.
