Arkema announces the successful start-up of its new Pebax elastomer plant at the Serquigny site in France, which can produce both the Pebax Rnew range of bio-circular elastomers and the classic Pebax range.

These advanced materials are used in sports equipment such as running shoes, soccer boots and ski boots, but also in electronic devices and other specialty markets such as antistatic additives and medical devices.

The new unit enables the chemical group to increase its worldwide Pebax elastomer production capacity by 40% to meet growing demand, while reducing water consumption at the site by around 25%.
