Arkema introduces CLEARSTRENGTH XT® 151 toughener, an innovative, high-performance product designed primarily to boost the performance of thermosetting resins without compromising processability. This easy-to-use powder provides long-lasting durability, excellent dispersion for better performance, higher production capabilities, lower energy and production costs, and much more.

“Using Arkema’s unique and patented technology, CLEARSTRENGTH® XT powder is the exception to the rule when it comes to core/shell tougheners,” said Alexandre Vermogen, global marketing manager for Plastic Additives, Arkema. “The new CLEARSTRENGTH® XT 151 toughener was designed primarily for epoxy formulators to enhance the durability and performance of thermosetting resins while also providing excellent processability.
