Arkema has achieved a new milestone in its sustainability journey with ISCC PLUS certification of its Nansha site in China. The mass balance^* approach enables the group to launch a new range of bio-attributed UV/LED/EB curable resins in Asia. It will support the development of more sustainable solutions for fast-growing applications in local markets, such as advanced electronics, new energies, green mobility, living comfort and home efficiency.

This certification expands the Sartomer^® UV/LED/EB curing resin solutions from renewable and lower carbon footprint origin. It offers a new range of bio-attributed resins, reinforcing the already existing bio segregated offer containing up to 85% biobased content.

"This certification ensures the availability of high-quality bio-attributed products to support our customers and value chain partners in the region in achieving their end-markets, as well as their own sustainability development targets." said Terry Lin, General Manager Sartomer Greater China Global.

The ISCC PLUS certification of Arkema UV/LED/EB curable resins manufacturing site in Nansha (China) following same certification in Villers-Saint-Paul, France (January 2024), is another step towards completing a network of ISCC PLUS certified plants worldwide. It accelerates Arkema's strategy to progressively introduce a complete range of bio-attributed specialty resins and additives, such as high solids, waterborne, UV/LED/EB, and polyester powders.
