Arkema (Booth U40 - HALL 5) at JEC World 2026

At JEC World 2026, Arkema will unveil a series of breakthrough innovations designed to address both industrial transformation and environmental transition challenges. • A boat hull component and a speed board manufactured with Elium resins will showcase significant progress in composite circularity, while Bostik will present a solution dedicated to vehicle recycling and repair. Arkema will also highlight its 100% biobased Rilsan Polyamide 11 for composite applications; its UDX tapes combining carbon fibers with biobased thermoplastic polymers in sports and hydrogen storage applications. • Arkema’s Elium resins drive the circular economy by enabling composite recycling. Arkema will showcase an exclusive immersive experience highlighting Arkema’s contribution in boat hull recycling. This breakthrough is made possible through strategic partnerships with Composite Recycling, Groupe Beneteau, Veolia, Owens Corning, and Chomarat, transforming composite recycling into an industrial and economically viable reality. • The ZEPHIR project brings together major players: ALTEN, Arkema, Alpha Recyclage Composite, Evonik, the Clement Ader Institute, Neo Sailing Technologies and Zephir, around a common ambition. At the heart of this alliance, Arkema provides Elium resin, the first recyclable thermoplastic liquid resin used in high-performance composite structures. • Bostik promotes Primer Prep DB, a primer designed to tackle the challenges of vehicle repair and end-of-life recycling. • The 100% biobased Rilsan Polyamide 11 used in the production of composites for transportation, sports, and consumer goods will be featured on the booth, along with high pressure hydrogen tank liners, illustrating the contribution of biobased materials to the hydrogen market. • Kepstan PEKK high‑performance polymer: Its semi‑crystalline architecture ensures excellent performance at elevated service temperatures, while remaining fully weldable for high‑rate production. As well as other parts for aerostructure, a composites profile made by Hutchinson with Hexcel HexPlyPEKK/34%/UD194/IM7 will be exhibited at the booth. • Zenimid polyimides, developed through PI Advanced Materials, offer a robust solution for composite technologies across aerospace, automotive, electronics, and industrial markets.
