Arkema has brought a new acrylic acid reactor at its Clear Lake, Texas, US to support adhesives production. The reactor has a capacity of producing 90,000 tons acrylic acid per year.
The reactor is equipped with the latest production technologies, this new reactor replaces two decommissioned reactors of 45,000 tons each.
Arkema's Most Competitive Acrylic Acid Site in US
This investment of approximately US$ 90 million positions Clear Lake as one of the most competitive acrylic acid sites in the US.
This new capacity will enable the Group to support the growth of its North American customers in markets such as super-absorbents, paints and coatings,
adhesives, and polymers for water treatment and enhanced oil and gas recovery. This expansion consolidates Arkema’s position as the second largest producer of acrylic acid in the region.
