This partnership underscores commitment to delivering sustainable, value-added solutions for customers in adhesives, coatings, sealants and other high-performance applications worldwide.
Synthomer, a leading supplier of high-performance, highly specialised polymers and ingredients, and Lummus Technology, a global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions, today announce the launch of a new partnership to license Synthomer’s proprietary acrylic acid esters technology.
This strategic collaboration combines Synthomer’s deep operational expertise and technological know-how in acrylic acid esters with Lummus’ global licensing capabilities and extensive customer network. Lummus will offer robust solutions to produce acrylic acid esters, a key component in several high-performance applications, with the ability to utilise a variety of raw materials, including bio-based feedstocks.
“This agreement marks a significant milestone for Synthomer’s acrylate monomers business,” said Rob Tupker, President, Health & Protection and Performance Materials (HPPM) and Asia, Synthomer. “Our technology, backed by years of experience and innovation, will now reach a broader market through Lummus’ licensing platform. It’s a win-win for both companies and the industry.”
