United States. Arkema has successfully commissioned a new 90,000-ton acrylic acid reactor at its headquarters in Clear Lake, Texas.
This new capability will enable the Group to support the growth of its North American customers in markets such as superabsorbents, 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.
This approximately $90 million investment positions Clear Lake as one of the most competitive acrylic acid sites in the United States.
Equipped with the latest production technologies, this new reactor replaces two decommissioned reactors of 45,000 tons each.
