ROHM launches Plexiglas® Proterra molding compounds on the market

Rohm offers customers two new ways to lower their product carbon footprint

Röhm has expanded its proTerra product range to include PLEXIGLAS proTerra molding compounds. They combine the proven performance of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) PLEXIGLAS brand with a lower carbon footprint.

“All material manufacturers face the same requirements on the market: achieving a lower carbon footprint and higher recyclable content, all with no loss in performance. In response to this, we have developed our PLEXIGLAS® proTerra molding compounds,” says Sven Schröbel, Head of Sustainability Management at Röhm GmbH’s Molding Compounds business unit.

Röhm offers customers two different ways to lower their product carbon footprint: PLEXIGLAS proTerra M5 contains mechanically recycled PMMA, while in PLEXIGLAS proTerra 8N, fossil resources have been replaced with raw materials certified under ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification).

“With these two options, we now offer PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds that help our customers to achieve their sustainability goals,” says Siamak Djafarian, Senior Vice President Molding Compounds at Röhm. “Sustainability is an integral component of our business strategy at Röhm.”
