Coating Resins
Acrylic, alkyd, polyester, and specialty resin platforms for durable surfaces and low-emission systems.
Industries
Discover Arkema materials by chemistry or by market
Coatings, polymers, and additives rarely stay inside one neat category. The same resin family can support automotive coatings, construction sealants, electronics protection, packaging films, and industrial maintenance. This page mirrors how technical buyers search: first by material platform, then by the end-use environment that will test it.
Performance Additives
Dispersing, rheology, wetting, and surface-control additives that help stabilize complex formulations.
High Performance Polymers
Materials selected for chemical resistance, thermal stability, dimensional control, and demanding processing.
Adhesive Chemistry
Solutions for bonding, sealing, assembly, and repair where substrate variety creates qualification risk.
Material families with application context
Each material family is reviewed against the operational realities that matter most: line speed, temperature exposure, substrate compatibility, cleaning conditions, regional chemical inventory status, VOC limits, and documentation availability. A coatings team may need scrub resistance and color retention. A polymer converter may need melt stability and low extractables. An electronics customer may need particle control and ionic cleanliness. Arkema's application teams translate those requirements into a short list of candidate technologies before samples move into testing.
Markets where Arkema chemistry is qualified
Automotive
Lightweight polymers, protective coatings, battery materials, and adhesives for evolving mobility platforms.
Construction
Durable binders, sealants, additives, and waterproofing support for long-life building systems.
Packaging
Barrier, adhesion, printability, and recycled-content pathways for brand and converter requirements.
Electronics
Specialty polymers and coating materials for devices, modules, insulation, and process protection.
Industrial
Maintenance coatings, chemical-resistant parts, and additives for demanding operating conditions.
Energy
Materials for batteries, hydrogen systems, power electronics, and lower-carbon industrial assets.
How materials meet industries
The strongest specification conversations usually sit between a material family and a market challenge. For example, a coating resin may be selected for low-VOC compliance, but the purchasing decision may depend on exterior durability, regional inventory status, color stability, and a credible carbon narrative. A polymer may begin as a mechanical-performance choice, then expand into process energy, recycling compatibility, and long-term supply continuity. Arkema frames each inquiry through both lenses so that technical and procurement teams can move together.
