France-based diversified chemical manufacturer Arkema announces the launch of TIPPOX 2028 stabilizer, the optimized stabilizer solution for the growing base of customers in PMMA production around the globe, according to SpecialChem.
TIPPOX 2028 stabilizer offers a new approach to traditionally utilized methods of handling thermal degradation.
TIPPOX 2028 stabilizer saves customers on operational costs by enabling higher processing temperature and higher throughput, while reducing defects and VOCs.
TIPPOX 2028 stabilizer expertly addresses the issue of PMMA thermal stabilization, which is essential for efficient processing.
TIPPOX 2028 outperforms typical competitor stabilizers, limiting bubble formation, and improving thermal stability with no compromise in mechanical properties, as it may happen with acrylate co-monomers.
“We are very excited to launch our TIPPOX 2028 stabilizer. Helping PMMA players to achieve higher performance and potentially lower VOCs is another example of how Arkema is delivering solutions for a more sustainable world,” Paul Guillaume Schmitt, specialities business manager for Arkema.
As MRC informed previously, in late February 2022, Arkema closed its previously announced acquisition of Ashland’s Performance Adhesives business for around USD1.65bn in an all-cash transaction. The company signed an agreement to acquire Ashland’s business in August last year. Ashland’s Performance Adhesives business supplies a wide range of adhesives for flexible packaging and pressure-sensitive adhesives for various markets, including decorative labels, protection and signage films for automotives and buildings. The business operates a network of six production plants, most of which are located in North America, and has around 330 employees.
Arkema is one of the world's leading chemical manufacturers headquartered in Colombes (near Paris, France). Founded in 2004 as a result of the restructuring of the French oil company Total, Arkema, with a turnover of EUR6.5 billion, has operations in 40 countries, 10 research centers around the world, and 85 plants in Europe, North America and Asia.
