Arkema said that it will increase fluoropolymer (Kynar PVDF) capacity at its Calvert City plant in US by some 20 percent. The expansion is fueled by strong demand in the new energies and water management markets as well as in more traditional applications (chemical process industry and high-performance cables).
Through this investment, Arkema, which operates fluoropolymer production facilities on the three major continents- Europe, North America and Asia - further consolidates its world-leading position in PVDF marketed under the Kynar brand.
In line with the strategy presented at its recent Capital Markets Day, this investment, scheduled to start mid-2018, further supports Arkema’s ambition to accelerate the development of its advanced materials, one of the key pillars of its future growth.
