As part of a drive to optimize its functional polyolefin range, Arkema announces that it is to discontinue its Evatane® 33-15 (High Content Ethylene - Vinyl Acetate Copolymers) and Lotryl® 14MG02 (Ethylene – Acrylate Copolymers) grades.
This withdrawal is part of a rationalization program to be completed in 2012 designed to shorten production wheel and reduce inventories of finished products, while delivering even better customer service. In the past three years Arkema has sought to methodically optimize its Evatane®, Lotryl® andOrevac® T (Ethylene – Vinyl Acetate and Maleic Anhydride Terpolymers) ranges, and to channel its sales towards higher added value grades. Marketed under the tradenames Evatane®, Lotryl®, Lotader® and Orevac®, Arkema’s Functional Polyolefins are used in wide-ranging industrial applications, including hotmelt adhesives, cables, multilayer packaging films, technical polymer modification, solar panels, petroleum additives, bitumens and inks.
