Arkema subsidiary Altuglas International has signed a global marketing deal with Nature Works to deliver a range of newly formulated bio-based, high performance alloys based on polymethylmethacrylate and NatureWorks' Ingeo biopolymers. Altuglas produces the Plexiglas and Altuglas acrylic resins and the new materials will be marketed by Altuglas as Plexiglas/Altuglas Rnew biopolymer alloys. The new range of resins will provide customisable formulating latitude with exceptional impact- and chemical-resistance properties, according to the companies, adding that they will also feature lower processing temperatures and greater melt flow properties without comprising the optics, scratch resistance, colour acceptance or surface aesthetics for which the Plexiglas and Altuglas products are known.
