This new webzine will help you to discover our approach to innovation and its practical uses.
The first edition focused on biochemistry, a key component of sustainable development. Let's find out more in this new edition about photovoltaic energy. In 2001, Arkema began offering polymers that are ideally suited for use in photovoltaic solar panels.
Arkema’s dynamic R&D drives the development of these products. The goal is to provide companies in the photovoltaic sector with reliable, easy-to-use solutions that reduce manufacturing costs and improve the performance of their photovoltaic panels.
