Solutions for lower carbon coil coatings

As the coil coating industry moves toward lower carbon solutions, Arkema provides complementary technologies that reduce environmental impact without compromising performance or manufacturability. One example leverages SYNOLAC® 9615 S 65 MB, a mass balance high-yield polyester resin that lowers carbon footprint versus its fossil reference while remaining a drop-in solution for coil coating lines. Supported by bio-based additives that enhance aesthetic and mechanical properties, these synergistic combinations enable up to 10 years durability for coated steel and deliver significant Scope 3 reductions, including up to 70% PCF reduction at resin level, contributing to more sustainable roofing and building envelope systems.

Bio-based solutions are increasingly relevant in architectural coil coatings, and Arkema offers technologies to raise renewable content without sacrificing performance. One example leverages SYNOLAC® 9650 S 65, a 100% bio-based resin suitable for all coil coating layers, supported by bio-based additives that enhance aesthetic and mechanical properties. These synergistic combinations enable up to 40% bio-based content in paint while maintaining RUV 3 durability and long-lasting appearance for building envelope applications.
