Un évènement festif de cohésion !

Depuis 2001, les sentiers et chemins de la forêt du Zang à Saint-Avold en Moselle sont arpentés fin juin par plusieurs centaines de coureurs à l’occasion de la manifestation « Les Foulées du Zang ».

Au programme une course individuelle de 10 km, une course relais en équipe de 3 km, des animations pour petits et grands sur toute une journée sont proposés.

Cet évènement sportif organisé sous l’égide de Chemesis est devenu un évènement incontournable de la région. Il rassemble les riverains, les salariés et leurs familles ainsi que les coureurs aguerris ou occasionnels pour apporter leur soutien à deux associations caritatives. En effet, pour chaque inscrit ou bénévole, une somme est reversée. En 2016, pour sa 15ème édition, plus de 400 participants ont répondu à l’invitation ce qui a permis de reverser 6 300 €.

Altuglas® ShieldUp, the PMMA of tomorrow

At the Chemesis site , Altuglas International has designed and produced Altuglas® ShieldUp, a spectacular mesh and nano-structured acrylic plate. On top of everything: a light-weight glazing that combines transparency and resistance, and lends itself easily to complex forms. This ultra-innovative technology opens up innumerable prospects for the automotive, photovoltaic, industrial, and secure glazing sectors in particular.

Elium®, the composite of the vehicle of tomorrow

Both extremely resistant and recyclable, Arkema's Elium® resin permits the construction of thermoplastic composite parts 50% lighter than steel, capable of substituting for the metal. To meet the high rates of the automotive industry, Elium® resin can now be mass-produced. Developed at Composite Park in partnership with the M2P TRI platform, the new FAST RTM (FAST Resin Transfer Moulding) manufacturing process enables the final "net shape" of the product to be obtained in a single operation. In 2017, this facility was rewarded with the JEC Innovation Awards prize.

The multifunctional liquid resins of Cray Valley

At its new Chemesis unit, Cray Valley produces liquid resins based on polybutadiene. These products are used as additives for rubber, adhesives and other speciality products. They reinforce the adhesion of tyres, reduce the thickness of smart phone touch screens, and improve the performance of boosters during rocket launches, for example.

The super-absorbents of Sumitomo Seika

At Chemesis, Arkema operates a super-absorbent polymers (reticulated sodium acrylate polymer) unit, for the Japanese giant Sumitomo Seika. Using gel processes and in inverse suspension, the plant produces a "Hygienic" range intended for the manufacture of sanitary towels and nappies for newborns as well as an "Industrial" range designed for the insulation of underwater cables. The finished product is in the form of a powder with a particle size between 200 and 400 micrometers and whose tremendous absorption capacity is 65 gr./gr.* for the Hygiene range and 500 gr./gr.* for the Industrial.
