More durability, less materials | Arkema Coating Materials

Explore how Arkema’s sustainable coatings solutions help you do more with less — enhancing durability and performance while reducing energy use, material consumption, and environmental impact.

REAFREE® Superdurable Powder Coating Resins

Arkema’s REAFREE^® Superdurable powder coating resins are engineered for outdoor and protective applications where exceptional durability, flexibility and corrosion resistance are essential. Designed specifically for superdurable powder formulations achieving Qualicoat Class-2 , these saturated carboxylated polyesters help formulators develop coatings that withstand harsh weathering and mechanical stress while delivering long-lasting gloss and performance across furniture, lighting, trim, automotive and industrial equipment markets. With multiple resin grades tailored for flow, flexibility and formulation latitude, REAFREE^® supports robust performance that meets demanding end-use expectations.

High solids technologies

Arkema enables a “do more with less” transition in coatings through next-generation high solids technologies that reduce VOC emissions, increase coverage efficiency and cut material consumption. By pairing advanced acrylic polyols, polyesters and alkyds with tailored rheology and performance additives, high solids systems deliver durable industrial finishes with fewer passes, reduced solvent use and lower packaging and transport impact. This combination of performance and efficiency helps formulators meet regulatory and sustainability targets while enhancing lifetime value in demanding applications.

Enabling superdurability in coil coating

For coil coating systems requiring Qualicoat Class-2 long-lasting durability and aesthetics, Arkema enables a “do more with less” approach by combining complementary technologies that boost performance and optimize material use. SYNOLAC^® 9612 SD 75, a high-yield cycloaliphatic resin for RUV4 systems, delivers excellent gloss retention and competitive value in use. When paired with tailored additives to enhance surface quality and mechanical resistance, the solution can extend steel durability to 15+ years while improving coverage efficiency by up to 10%, helping coil coaters achieve premium finishes with lower overall consumption and cost.
