Arclin

Electric vehicles are redefining tire performance. And some of the industry's top experts in the industry will be on hand at the upcoming Global Polymer Summit to discuss the changing tire making landscape. • • Panelists include: Josh Guilliams of Smithers; Ian Coke of Pirelli North America Inc.; K.C. Jensen of Hankook Tire America Corp.; and Dr. Rikki Lamba of Arclin.

From everyday heroes to the web-slinger captivating audiences this summer, there's a reason Kevlar® and Nomex® are the gold standard for performance and protection. When the world's favorite superhero needs gear that can stand up to danger, it's no surprise these trusted materials are mentioned. After all, real-life performance is what turns advanced materials into legend.

89 minutes vs. 43 minutes isn't a small difference when fire reaches the wall assembly. In independent burn testing, Firepoint held longer than standard fire-rated OSB because its intumescent surface expands under heat, forming a dense char barrier that helps slow heat transfer. That extra time matters: a wall with more room to perform, and more confidence behind the cladding. Details: https://lnkd.in/eff35kiV

We welcomed 40 interns this summer to teams in Arclin's corporate office and manufacturing sites across the U.S. and Canada. Over the past few months, interns developed their skills and pursued roles that align with their professional interests. Through “Lunch and Learn” sessions, they had the chance to network and learn directly from executive leaders at Arclin. Showing their commitment to investing in our community, interns in Alpharetta spent a day volunteering at the Historic Oakland Foundation STEM Summer Camp. Today, team members are celebrating National Intern Day by showing school spirit with apparel from their alma mater. We’re excited to learn more about the contributions interns have made this summer as they present their Capstone Projects next week!

This summer, Arclin team members around the globe came together to support wellness initiatives and inspire the next generation through STEM education and community engagement. Highlights included partnering with local libraries in Belle, West Virginia, to support interactive summer reading programs; participating in the GEMX MakeMe Academy program with a panel discussion in Derry, Northern Ireland; and raising funds for cancer research through the 26-mile Macmillan Cancer Support Mighty Hike led by the Maydown, Northern Ireland team. At the Pontchartrain site in Louisiana, the team hosted a Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day event, welcoming over 50 children for a day of plant tours, STEM activities, and visits from local first responders. At Arclin headquarters in Alpharetta, Georgia, interns volunteered at the Historic Oakland Foundation STEM Summer Camp and joined in an office-wide outdoor trail walk to promote heart health. We're proud of the many ways our teams are giving back and making a positive impact in the communities where we live and work! #ArclinCares

We're celebrating 100 days since Kevlar® & Nomex® joined the Arclin team by taking a look back at leadership visits to sites around the globe. Swipe through to see the highlights!

The 2025 LA fires caused an estimated $135–150 billion in insured losses. Yet most of those structures were built to code. Code compliance and fire resilience are different things. Code gives the industry a baseline. Resilience asks: How does the wall assembly perform when exposure exceeds the minimum? Firepoint brings fire-rated sheathing into the conversation. It brings tested performance, familiar installation, and a clearer way for builders to answer the above-code question.

Arclin has earned the Pinnacle Award from Union Pacific Railroad for the second year in a row!   The Pinnacle Award recognizes companies for safe shipping of hazardous materials as well as notable release prevention protocols and corrective action plans.   Sending a big congratulations to our entire team for leading with a strong commitment to protecting communities and advancing railroad safety!

Some builds have to be ready for more than weather. This Utah home is going up in a WUI zone, where exterior wall choices have to be built with worst-case scenarios in mind. Shown in this walkthrough with TheBuildShow, experts Stephanie Dailey and Steven Baczek discuss the decision to use Firepoint around the exterior walls as a means to protect the build while preserving the land surrounding it. Watch here for a full breakdown of this extensive, unique remodel: https://lnkd.in/erWuNH9z

“The next industrial leaders won’t just be defined by the products they build—but by the materials they control. Kevlar® and Nomex® sit at the center of that shift.” Recent coverage of Arclin’s acquisition of the DuPont aramids business captures an important reality: advanced materials are no longer operating in the background. They’re central to how industries scale, innovate, and compete. From aerospace and defense to energy infrastructure and EVs, the systems shaping the next decade of growth all depend on materials engineered for performance where failure is not an option, and Arclin stands ready to deliver. Kasun Illankoon’s report for Tech Revolt is worth a read for perspective on where industrial growth is headed: https://lnkd.in/gjEKDdMz
