Road markings made with DEGAROUTE® have been contributing to resource efficiency for several decades thanks to their long service life. As an alternative to its proven binder, Röhm has launched DEGAROUTE® proTerra, which further improves the sustainability of road markings. That’s because DEGAROUTE® proTerra is composed of at least 30 percent recycled methyl methacrylate, thus having a significantly smaller CO₂ footprint. SWARCO Road Marking Systems, a global manufacturer of road marking systems, has chosen Röhm’s sustainable binder for the development of a pioneering new marking material. The first application of the new product was on a 100 square meter bike lane in Darmstadt.

To further strengthen the market position of its specialty molding compounds globally, Röhm has significantly expanded its production capacity at the Wallingford plant in Connecticut (USA). The innovative improvement was possible by modifying and redeploying an existing production line at the Wallingford site, providing customers with faster delivery and meeting increasing demand globally.

Röhm offers selected products from all established brands with a reduced carbon footprint. The production sites in Worms and Wesseling (Germany) are already been received certification under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS scheme.

Röhm is further expanding its market leadership in Europe with a new plant for PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds: Robert Weber, Head of the Röhm Worms site, Hans-Peter Hauck, COO of Röhm, and Siamak Djafarian, Head of the Molding Compounds Business Unit, officially commissioned the plant during an inauguration ceremony at the Worms site.

With lowering greenhouse gas emissions the order of the day, Röhm has now 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.

In June, Röhm successfully commissioned the plant expansion for impact-modified PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds in Worms, Germany, which are used primarily in the automotive, household, and construction sectors.
