Arkema to invest €300m in biosourced polyamide
11/07/2017
This investment will enable the French company to increase by 50% its polyamide 11 global production capacities.
The plant, based in Asia, will produce Rilsan PA11 biosourced polyamide from castor oil.
The investment also includes a 50% increase in its capacities for Pebax, a biosourced polyamide elastomer with properties such as ‘energy return’ and flexibility, which can be used by footwear makers.
The company has claimed that more than half of the players in the 2014 World Cup were equipped with Pebax-soled boots.
