Arkema announces Kynar production capacity increase at its Calvert City facility in the US
Arkema, producer of high performance technical polymer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) distributed under the tradename Kynar®, announced that it intends to increase its production capacity at its Calvert City (KY, USA) facility by over 2,000 tons a year. The investment is expected to be $12 million.
Scheduled for completion in early 2008, this capacity increase will make Kynar® unit production in Calvert City one of the largest PVDF plant in the world, strategically placed to supply both American and Asian markets. Like Arkema's PVDF plant in Pierre-Benite, France, the Calvert City plant benefits from integrated monomer feedstocks, efficient technology, and experienced manufacturing personnel.
According to Bernard Roche, group president of Arkema's technical polymers business unit, "the group firmly intends to meet growing demand, while strengthening its leading position in the PVDF world market."
