Arkema has announced that its new Rilsan® Clear transparent polyamide production unit, located on its Singapore platform, is fully operational.
According to Arkema, the new unit triples the Group’s global production capacity of Rilsan® Clear transparent polyamide. This investment of around US$20 million, announced in July 2025, is part of the growth projects in which Arkema has recently invested to support its strategic roadmap on Specialty Materials.
The new unit will enable the company to meet the growing demand for sustainable high-performance transparent materials across key markets such as eyewear, AR/VR and smart consumer electronics, industrial filtration, healthcare devices and home appliances.
“We are very proud of this strategic expansion dedicated to transparent polyamides, further strengthening our position as the leading global producer of specialty polyamides,” said Laurent Tellier, senior vice-president High Performance Polymers and Fluorogases. “It marks the next step in developing our key platform in Singapore, contributing to our strategy to develop local and competitive supply close to our customers in the region.”
