Arkema S.A. has launched Foranext Continuum, a new low-viscosity additive for rigid polyurethane foam formulations that use Forane Foam Blowing Agent 1233zd, expanding the company's high-performance polyurethane foam systems portfolio. The additive is designed to improve B-side shelf stability and help maintain formulation performance over time, supporting manufacturers as they shift to hydrofluoroolefin-based technologies, and is suitable for insulation, roofing, appliance and other rigid foam applications. The launch builds on Arkema's investments in HFO technology and supply reliability, including a new 15-kiloton Forane 1233zd production unit recently started up in Calvert City, Kentucky, to support growing customer demand. Foranext Continuum is available globally through Arkema's fluorochemicals business. Arkema shares have gained 3.2% in the past year compared with the industry's 1.8% rise over the same period.
