At TECHTEXTIL 2009 in Frankfurt (June 16 - 18, 2009), Arkema is unveiling its 100% bio-sourced "green" technical polymers.  They are Rilsan PA 11, Pebax Rnew and Platamid Rnew.  The new Rilsan PA 11 is 100% biobased while keeping the unique set of properties such as soft touch, light weight, resistance to bacteria, wear, and abrasion. Pebax Rnew is the first engineering TPE made from renewable resources.  Likewise, Platmid Rnew is the first 100% biobased hotmelt adhesive.
