  Arkema does not publish public rate-limit documentation. There is no
  customer-facing REST API; product browsing through the Arkema Product Finder
  and Bostik web properties is governed by ordinary web-application
  throttling, while order and supply integrations are governed by the
  underlying commercial agreement.
notes: >-
  No public developer rate-limit documentation — placeholder only. Volume
  ceilings are negotiated as part of the supply contract.
