Aerospace and other modes of transportation

Aerospace

As a long-standing partner to the aerospace sector, Arkema develops high-performance products specifically designed for airplanes, helicopters and other forms of air transportation.

To meet the needs and standards of aircraft manufacturers to reduce fuel consumption and build sturdier, lighter, more comfortable and more secure aircraft, Arkema provides an extensive product portfolio of:

  • High performance polymers, including Kepstan® PEKK and Kynar® PVDF foam
  • Orgasol® polyamide powder additives
  • "Smart” high-tech adhesives and glues and thermoplastic resins from Bostik.
  • Oleris® bio-based n-heptanoic acid is used in the synthesis of polyol esters with an excellent balance between high temperature stability and extreme low temperature fluidity, for high-performance aviation lubricants.

     

Focus on... innovative glues on board

A partner of the aerospace industry for over 60 years, Bostik develops a large number of high-tech bonding solutions specifically for aerospace applications, which are invisible to passengers but vital for their safety and comfort. They include, for example, the bonding of interior panels and laminates which help make trims and fittings lighter. As well as flame-retardant protective glues that slow the spread of flames in the event of a fire.

Other modes of transportation

  • Specialty polyamides: Rilsan® polyamides are used to manufacture technical parts for trucks, and offer a high level of thermal, mechanical and chemical resistance. They are used for transmissions, noise dampening, opening mechanisms, as well as fuel lines and fluid management (braking, clutch system, cooling).
  • Platamid® copolyamide hot-melt adhesives are used for durable adhesion of vehicle interior laminates and textiles.
  • Forane® refrigerants are used for the operation of  vehicle air conditioning systems.
  • Luperox® organic peroxides are used for the production of raw materials found in parts such as hoses, belts, gaskets, o-rings and vehicle body panels.
  • MLPC International's vulcanizing agents, as powders (Ekaland® & Vultac®) or polymer-bound masterbatches (Mixland+®), are used for the largest parts in the rubber industry. 
  • Extreme Pressure Sulfur additives TPS® commonly used in lubricant formulations dedicated to Gear boxes, Transmission and other automotive lubricants.
