Rohm launches proTerra with GLUE® to help achieve carbon neutrality in transportation

        Recently, Rohm launched Glue® proTerra, which contains no less than 30% recycled methyl methacrylate (RMMA), as an innovative road marking resin material that can effectively reduce carbon footprint.

        Rohm is one of the world's leading methacrylate manufacturers, with 15 production sites and approximately 3,500 employees. With branches in Germany, China, the United States, Russia and South Africa, it has more than 80 years of experience in methacrylate chemistry and a strong technology platform. Well-known brands include PLEXIGLAS®, Acrylite®, MERACRYLTM, DEGALAN® and DEGAROUTE®, and its products are widely used in coatings, automotive, electronics, lighting, construction and healthcare industries.

        The cold plastic road marking system based on ROHM's Glue® proTerra has outstanding visibility and durability, and is a more resource-saving alternative to traditional road marking resins. Glue® proTerra helps ROHM implement its "Track2030" sustainability strategy.

        The Glue® road marking system contains no solvents, produces almost no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and does not require additional heating during application. "Road markings based on Glue® have a longer service life and contribute to greater resource efficiency. Glue® proTerra goes a step further. This expansion of the portfolio enables us to even better support our customers in their pursuit of sustainability goals," said Jochen Henkels, head of Röhm's methacrylate resin business.

        Röhm positions Glue® proTerra as a new solution for reducing the carbon footprint. Röhm products and services with the proTerra suffix in their names help reduce the carbon footprint and save resources such as raw materials, energy and water.

        Laboratory and application tests have shown that the quality and performance of this innovative solution are comparable to existing mature products, and it can fully retain the original advantages of methyl methacrylate road marking systems: Daglu® proTerra has good durability, outstanding visual and acoustic properties, and the advantage of fast construction due to its short curing time, while also reducing resource consumption.
