Accolade® and Paladin®, your premier and sustainable solutions for agricultural soil fumigation
Arkema has developped Accolade® and Paladin® as fumigation solutions in various countries with a broad spectrum of effectiveness (nematicide, herbicide, fungicide). Used for crop protection and the preparation of horticultural soils, Dimethyl Disulfide (DMDS) has a proven track record of significant yield improvement. This sustainable generation of treatment is based on DMDS, a substance derived from sulfur that occurs naturally in the environment. Our solution is available in 2 applications, shank or drip and is combined to a barrier film which the manufacture is completely designed by Arkema for a safe and efficient use.
ACRA Clay Stabilized Emulsifiers for Pavement, Coal Tar and Asphalt Sealers
ACRA clay stabilized emulsifiers provide faster drying and curing times for low-traffic road or parking lot pavement sealer, asphalt sealer and coal tar sealer applications, as well as maximum abrasion wear resistance and stronger bonding to the pavement substrate for longer-lasting results. They also improve surface aesthetics by providing a deep black color that gives pavements a new and uniform look.
Acrylic acid
Acrylic acid is a colorless liquid above its freezing point of +13°C ( +56°F). It is fully miscible in water at +20°C (+68°F).
Acrylic acid will polymerize to form homopolymers and can be copolymerized with their esters and other vinyl monomers. Its carboxylic acid functionality provides anionic character and reactivity with alcohols and epoxides.
Acrylic monomers
Arkema is a leading global producer of acrylic monomers. Thanks to their unique properties acrylic monomers improve every day life by making products last longer, allowing water based formulations wihout solvents and a cleaner environment.
AD-here® Hot Mix Asphalt Additives / Adhesion Promoters for Road Paving
Asphalt mix producers and paving contractors rely on AD-here® hot mix asphalt additives / adhesion promoters to build safer, longer-lasting roads because they are cost-effective, efficient and easy to work with. Low odor options are also available for easier compliance with environmental, occupational and regulatory requirements.
AD-here® ULTRA Warm Mix Asphalt Additives / Combined Adhesion Promoters and Compaction Aids for Road Paving
The AD-here® ULTRA line of warm mix asphalt additives combines asphalt compaction and proven adhesion promoter / asphalt anti stripping additive technologies in one, so that asphalt mix can be produced and compacted at lower temperatures while maintaining workability and protecting against moisture damage for longer pavement life.
Adame®
Adame® is produced by transesterification.
Cationic nature linked to the tertiary amino functionality, which can be enhanced by quaternization of the tertiary amine.
Adame® is mainly used for production of cationic monomers (Adamquat).
Ability to polymerize and copolymerize.
Adamquat MC 80
Adamquat brings cationic charge to polymers.
Monomers and homopolymers are water-soluble.
They have a good copolymerizability with Acrylamide.
The main market is the production of cationic polyacrylamides used as flocculent for wastewater and sludge treatment, paper retention and drainage aids and wet and dry strength for paper sheet formation.
Adiansol® polyols
The Adiansol® range contains polyether polyols with different functionalities. These products are based on glycerin, trimethylolpropane (TMP), propylene glycol or amines. The Adiansol® polyols are mainly used as crosslinkers and building blocks.
Agrochemical and pharmaceutical synthesis intermediates
Mercaptans can be used for some intermediate synthesis in agrochemical and pharmaceutical markets. Sodium methyl mercaptide (SMM), ethyl mercaptan (EM) and tertio-butyl mercaptan (TBM) are used worldwide to produce intermediates entering for instance in terbufos or phorate agrochemicals.
Arkema also produces Amines, Oxygenated Solvents and Hydrazine Hydrate that can be useful in synthesizing intermediates.
Airsiev® Ox series
The Airsiev® Ox series is a range of molecular sieves designed for oxygen production by PSA (Pressure swing adsorption) process with a broad range of performances (Airsiev Ox 8 and Ox 19).
Airsiev® P series
The Airsiev® P series is a range of molecular sieves designed for air prepurification with four different performance ranges, for 140 minutes to 300 minutes of CO2 breakthrough (Airsiev P 140, P 180, P 220 and P 300).
Albone® hydrogen peroxide for industrial applications
Albone® is formulated for general hydrogen peroxide applications. It is mostly used in the bleaching of paper pulp and of natural and synthetic textile fibers, chemical synthesis, as well as environmental applications such as wastewater and gas treatment. It is also used in the mining and metal treatment industries.
Alkylphenol disulfide
Alkylphenol polysulfides are multi-functional products. This range is articulated around Vultac® and Rosinox® products. Supplied by MLPC International, Vultac® and Rosinox® are low molecular weight alkyl phenol disulfide oligomers.
Vultac® are sulfur donors and vulcanization agents for rubbers with antioxidant and tackifying properties due to their chemical structure.
Rosinox® is a bleaching agent and catalyst for disproportionation of rosin and rosin esters
Alpure® sodium chlorate
Alpure® sodium chlorate (NaClO3) by Arkema is a white crystalline solid produced from salt and water. This strong oxidant primarily serves for the generation of chlorine dioxide (ClO2), a key bleaching agent in the manufacturing of high quality chemical pulps for a large variety of papers and packaging applications.
AMSA (Anhydrous Methane Sulfonic Acid)
AMSA (Anhydrous Methane Sulfonic Acid - CH3SO3H) is a strong organic acid widely used in the pharmaceutical industry due to its high acidity and high miscibility in aqueous and most organic media.
Apolhya® polyolefin based thermoplastics
Apolhya® products are the only soft polyolefin based thermoplastic materials that can withstand high temperatures : 150° C and higher for over 3,000 hours. Special grafting processes and chemistry produce polyamide-grafted polyolefins having a unique co-continuous structure that provides for breakthrough properties. The Apolhya® range of products is suitable to the full spectrum of processing conditions (film casting, calendar and blown extrusion, injection moulding, etc.)
ArrMuls® Anionic Emulsifiers for Tack Coats & Pavement Sealers
ArrMuls® slow-setting anionic emulsifiers for pavement sealers and industrial coatings are engineered to withstand shearing and mixing stresses for efficient compounding in every batch, providing longer product shelf life and quality over time, and even application through fine spray nozzles. ArrMuls® anionic emulsifiers also address bond coat / tack coat tracking by transforming paving grade asphalt into non-tracking tack for stronger, longer-lasting pavements with faster traffic return.
AZDN, Additives for polymers and resins
As derivatives of Hydrazine Hydrate, the azo-bis-Isobutyronitrile, AZDN or AIBN, is used as blowing agent for PVC foam, or as polymerization initiator for synthesis of flocculant agents in water treatment.
