Arkema has decided to increase its PVDF capacity by 15% in North America

27-Feb-2025

A 15% capacity expansion of Arkema’s polyvinylidenfluoride (PVDF) production site in Calvert City, Kentucky, represents an investment of around 20 million US dollars and is aligned with the strategy of the Group to increase its global PVDF footprint at a pace and with capabilities that match market development. This will support the increasing demand for locally manufactured high-performance resins for lithium-ion batteries as well as the growing semiconductor and cable markets.

Arkema’s Calvert City plant has a long history in PVDF manufacturing. The 15% capacity expansion will focus on innovative PVDF grades designed to support the manufacture of electric vehicles (EV) and energy storage systems with improved sustainability profiles, as well as growth in local manufacturing by customers in other strategic markets.

Arkema produces PVDF in all three major regions, with plants in the USA, China, and France, and is a global leader in PVDF supply. All three sites have recently seen significant investment and capacity increase at a pace and with capabilities that match the evolution of the demand.
