La plateforme se dote d’une identité propre.

En février 2016, les industriels de la plateforme ont invité pour la seconde fois leurs partenaires : l’Etat, la Région, les collectivités locales, les administrations, la presse… Ce fut l’occasion de faire un point sur l’avancement des travaux de l’association autour de 4 axes :

ancrer les industriels sur le site pour pérenniser les activités
mettre en commun les savoir-faire et compétences
attirer de nouveaux investisseurs
favoriser l’innovation.

Pour cela, ils ont révélé leur nouvelle identité : Chemesis, catalyseur de performance. Il fut exposé l’offre marketing qui permet ainsi aux industriels d’aller rechercher de nouvelles activités. Une plaquette a été développée comme support de contacts en attendant la sortie d’un site web en fin d’année. La centaine de participants a pu noter l’investissement dynamique des industriels dans la construction de l’avenir de la plateforme.

Altuglas® ShieldUp, the PMMA of tomorrow

At the Chemesis site , Altuglas International has designed and produced Altuglas® ShieldUp, a spectacular mesh and nano-structured acrylic plate. On top of everything: a light-weight glazing that combines transparency and resistance, and lends itself easily to complex forms. This ultra-innovative technology opens up innumerable prospects for the automotive, photovoltaic, industrial, and secure glazing sectors in particular.

Elium®, the composite of the vehicle of tomorrow

Both extremely resistant and recyclable, Arkema's Elium® resin permits the construction of thermoplastic composite parts 50% lighter than steel, capable of substituting for the metal. To meet the high rates of the automotive industry, Elium® resin can now be mass-produced. Developed at Composite Park in partnership with the M2P TRI platform, the new FAST RTM (FAST Resin Transfer Moulding) manufacturing process enables the final "net shape" of the product to be obtained in a single operation. In 2017, this facility was rewarded with the JEC Innovation Awards prize.

The multifunctional liquid resins of Cray Valley

At its new Chemesis unit, Cray Valley produces liquid resins based on polybutadiene. These products are used as additives for rubber, adhesives and other speciality products. They reinforce the adhesion of tyres, reduce the thickness of smart phone touch screens, and improve the performance of boosters during rocket launches, for example.

The super-absorbents of Sumitomo Seika

At Chemesis, Arkema operates a super-absorbent polymers (reticulated sodium acrylate polymer) unit, for the Japanese giant Sumitomo Seika. Using gel processes and in inverse suspension, the plant produces a "Hygienic" range intended for the manufacture of sanitary towels and nappies for newborns as well as an "Industrial" range designed for the insulation of underwater cables. The finished product is in the form of a powder with a particle size between 200 and 400 micrometers and whose tremendous absorption capacity is 65 gr./gr.* for the Hygiene range and 500 gr./gr.* for the Industrial.
