Arkema and Catalyxx accelerate the transition to lower-carbon footprint acrylic monomers and acrylic resins

Arkema, a global leader in specialty materials, and Catalyxx, an innovator in bio-based chemicals, announce a strategic partnership. This collaboration aims to develop a new value chain for low-carbon, bio-based acrylic resins by leveraging breakthrough proprietary technology.

#Catalyxx is planning to build a first-of-its-kind industrial facility to produce #bioalcohols, including bio n-butanol, from bioethanol. These bio-alcohols, based on a patented technology validated at a demonstration plant in Seville, Spain, offer a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to fossil-based alternatives.


#Arkema is evaluating the use of these bio-alcohols as feedstocks for the commercial-scale production of #biobasedacrylicresins with lower carbon footprint. These resins will serve high-performance applications in coatings, adhesives for new energy solutions, e-mobility, living comfort, and sustainable infrastructure markets.


This project marks a key milestone in the transition toward more responsible materials and reinforces Arkema’s commitment to replacing fossil-based raw materials with #renewable alternatives—without compromising on performance.
