    Crosby plant fires and organic-peroxide ruptures

    During Hurricane Harvey, flooding disabled refrigeration systems at Arkema's Crosby, Texas facility. Temperature-sensitive organic peroxides subsequently decomposed and ignited, producing fires and container ruptures and prompting an evacuation zone around the plant.

    Legacy hydrogen-peroxide cartel case

    The European Commission found that predecessor companies Atochem and Atofina participated in an illegal cartel involving hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate between 1995 and 2000. Arkema was fined in connection with the predecessor conduct, and the related legal proceedings continued after the company's creation.
