DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO
From enhancing corrosion resistance to improving
aesthetics, our sustainable coating solutions can help meet
performance needs while meeting sustainability demands.
Our global presence allow access to different raw materials
compositions, ensuring a diversified set of performances.
Kraton strives to provide the industry with biobased alternatives to fossil-based materials, at better or at least equal performance, but at lower carbon footprint. Compared to other vegetable-based alternatives, our products enable the saving of up to 10 times the CO2 equivalent emissions. They also offer the added benefit of not being genetically modified, not edible and our feedstock does not compete with land for food crops. We conduct life cycle assessments on key products, through an expert third party, which provides insights of a product's environmental footprint from cradle to gate.
