The world of architecture - and construction, more generally - is facing a number of technical, regulatory, economic, environmental and other challenges. Instead of impeding performance, these demands encourage research and provide Arkema with new sources of innovation.

An active partner in the building and construction sector, Arkema creates innovative technical solutions to address these demands, while striving to reconcile performance and environmental protection.

In particular, Arkema solutions incorporate very small quantities of certain additives to give construction materials special attributes. These additives can, for example, help liquefy concrete, transform the reflective properties of glass or strengthen a material’s protective coating.
