Arkema Commences New Rilsan® Clear Unit in Singapore

Arkema has announced the official start-up of its new Rilsan® Clear transparent polyamide production unit in Singapore. This development significantly boosts Arkema's production capacity, making it the largest in Asia for transparent polyamides and tripling its global output. The US$20 million investment was initially revealed in July 2025 as a part of Arkema's plan to expand its Specialty Materials segment.

The new facility is designed to meet the rising demand for sustainable high-performance transparent materials. These materials find applications in industries like eyewear, AR/VR, smart electronics, healthcare, and home appliances. Arkema emphasizes its leadership in specialty polyamides and commitment to resilient, localized supply chains.

Rilsan® Clear’s unique qualities, including high performance, sustainability, and recyclability, reinforce Arkema's drive towards more sustainable material solutions. This aligns with Arkema’s broader strategic vision as it aims to transition toward becoming a leader in Specialty Materials.
