COLOMBES, France, July 6, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Bostik, the Adhesive Solutions division of Arkema, has implemented an ambitious

development programme strengthening its polyurethane (PU) sealants with a

particular focus on Sealing & Bonding applications for the construction market.

This new range of products enables Bostik to be well positioned in this

business driven by new construction in emerging countries and steady demand for

higher quality solutions.

With state-of-the art production facilities in Europe and the Asia Pacific

region, and innovative technology, Bostik, a longstanding player on the PU

market, is developing a new range of products meeting the requirements of both

higher technical properties and sustainable performance such as low isocyanates

and solvent-free formulations, bubble-free, and outstanding easiness to use for

professional and occasional consumers.

This programme aims to increase Bostik's position on its targeted markets of

construction in emerging countries.

According to Marc-Antoine Mallet, Sealing & Bonding Director at Bostik, "This

ambitious programme has helped us address the market's growing expectations in

terms of quality and sustainability for PU products. It also enables us to

provide our customers with a unique mix of local presence and outstanding

quality standards. Thanks to a very positive feedback from the market,

particularly in the EMEA region, we're convinced that this is just the

beginning of promising opportunities."

The next steps of this development programme are focused on industrial markets,

and perfectly aligned with Bostik's growth strategy in engineering adhesive

solutions.
