Arkema invests in a new polyamide unit in Singapore

News 01.08.2025

After starting up its state of the art plant in Singapore and thus increasing its global Rilsan® polyamide 11 capacity by 50%, Arkema announces the construction of a new Rilsan® Clear transparent polyamide unit on its Singapore platform. The new capacity represents an investment of around US$20 million and is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2026.

This investment will triple Arkema’s global production capacity of Rilsan® Clear transparent polyamides and will help meet the growing global demand for sustainable high-performance transparent materials in various markets, including eyewear, consumer electronics, healthcare devices, and home appliances.

Arkema is the leading producer of bio-based transparent polyamides, including its flagship grades Rilsan® Clear Rnew® G850 and G820 containing respectively 45% and 62% bio-based carbon origin. These grades provide lightweight, high transparency, flexibility and chemical resistance, while maintaining performance across a wide range of temperatures. In addition, they are fully recyclable, as part of Arkema’s Virtucycle® recycling program for advanced polymers.

"We are very proud to take this new step forward with this expansion dedicated to transparent polyamides as it aligns with the evolving demand landscape, showcasing our commitment to global growth. It marks the next step in developing our strategic platform in Singapore to support our valued customers in Asia and beyond.", Laurent Tellier, Directeur Général Adjoint Polymères Haute Performance et Gaz Fluorés.
