With over 20,000 employees working in 55 countries and 15 R&D centres, our group has a deep-rooted tradition of driving growth through innovation. Building on our unique expertise in innovative chemistry, Arkema creates pioneering and sustainable material solutions for customers across a broad range of markets, focusing particularly on new energies, natural resource management, home efficiency, lightweight materials, and consumer electronics.

Our Bostik MMA range covers a wide range of applications through our two main offerings, SAF and FIT. The SAF range carries BV and EN approvals for rail applications. Both products cater to needs from fast cure to long open times and can be applied in very thin films or large bead sizes. The large bead format offers the ability to resist slumping and creep during application. Our products bond to various materials, including FRP, metals (such as stainless steel and alloys), and plastics (such as ABS and PMMA). Over 80% of the ultimate strength is reached in the fixed time, allowing for fast turnaround and handling of bonded parts.
