Construction Market
 It's hard to imagine a facet of the construction industry that doesn't use our materials. Whether it's indoor or outdoor, home or office, dozens of products are made using our quality and technology. For example, many of today's modern office buildings will look like new for years thanks to architectural finishes using Kynar 500® polyvinylidene fluoride resins, which provide unmatched durability and weatherability.
| Products formulated using our Norsocryl® Acrylic Monomers can be found in various end-use applications for the construction industry. Examples include acrylic based impact modifiers, caulks and adhesives, architectural coatings, and acrylic sheet. |
Lucalor® chlorinated PVC is used for high temperature pipes and pipes for integrated heating and DMSO is used as a solvent for paint-stripping applications.
|
| Coatings made with Kynar 500® polyvinylidene fluoride resins ensure that the color of the slate blue metal roof on your home or office will still be slate blue after 30 years. |
| Our acrylic resins provide superior clarity, UV light resistance, and impact strength for lighting in residential and commercial buildings, including the floor covering made with Lotryl™ Resin. And our acrylic sheet provides a unique combination of exceptional clarity and resistance to UV degradation and discoloration for projects like window glazing or outdoor signage. |
| Speaking of exteriors, the vinyl siding and window profiles on many homes and offices are made using our Functional Additives, which protect PVC from the effects of a bad storm or the impact of a misguided baseball. Arkema Functional Additives can reduce PVC processing difficulties and improve final product properties: Durastrength® acrylic impact modifiers for impact strength, Plastistrength® acrylic process aids for ease of processing and Thermolite® heat stabilizers to prevent PVC degradation. |
| In the interior of your home or office, the air conditioning that keeps you cool and keeps your refrigerator running smoothly may be made using our Forane® Refrigerants. And to keep out the heat or cold, manufacturers use our blowing agents for foam insulation. |
| Our impact modifiers, process aids, co-stabilizers, heat stabilizers and glass coatings are used throughout the Construction industry - in everything from compounding; fencing and decking; and pipe, to vinyl siding and window glass treatment. |
As you can see, we supply the chemicals that the construction industry is built on—chemicals that are essential to many products and improve the performance of dozens of others.
