Arkema to raise capacity for PVDF resins

 Arkema has decided to speed up the development of its plant at Changshu site in China, and announced a 50% production increase effective mid-2012. This investment is intended to help meet the fast-growing demand for PVDF resins in emerging technologies, in particular applications in new energies and water filtration.

 The initial plan for the PVDF production plant in Changshu aimed to meet growing demand in the industrial paint market in Asia.
