| Arkema offers a full line of organic peroxides for use as initiators in the production of acrylic resins for paints and coatings. Luperox® Organic Peroxides are the products of choice for many acrylic resin and coating applications. Our products offer advantages in high-solids-coating resins by generating low molecular weights and narrow polydispersities. Our organic peroxides are polymerization initiators for high-solids acrylic resins used in the automotive industry. And many of our specialty epoxide products are used to improve the reactivity and processability of UV coatings. |
| We provide highly focused services with a wide variety of specialized chemical products, from Orgasol® ultrafine polyamide powders, which offer unique performance enhancements, to liquid phenones used as photo initiators. They also help improve the abrasion resistance of can coatings and coil coatings. |
 Building finishes based on Kynar 500® polyvinylidene fluoride resins are world-renowned as premium architectural coatings for metal-clad monumental, commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. Coatings of Rilsan® Fine Powders are virtually impervious to extremes of pressure, chemical, and temperature. Rilsan® Fine Powders provide high dimensional stability, good resistance to stress cracking, and low moisture absorption. Rilsan® Fine Powders also have a low coefficient of friction, allowing products coated with it to shrug off abrasion.
