(Arkema) -- 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 and Orevac 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.
