Key Developments

In November 2022, Solvay and Orbia announced a framework agreement to form a partnership for the production of suspension-grade polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for battery materials, resulting in the largest capacity in North America
In February 2022, Solvay announced the product expansion of Solef, a PVDF resin brand with the largest production site in Europe
In February 2021, Arkema announced further increasing its polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) production capacities at its Changshu site of China, due to the augmented demand for PVDF from the lithium-ion battery industries as well as water filtration, construction coatings and semiconductor industries. The growth was accomplished in 2022, improving the company's fluoropolymer business.
In January 2021, Polymer Engineering Company Ltd and Arkema developed the technology which blends its Kynar Flex polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) by using different types of rubber, and this allows melt processing through vulcanization and chemical compatibilization, thereby improving the company's business
In May 2021, Fillamentum, which is a leading 3D printing material provider, announced the launch of high-performance engineering filament. The product Fluorodur is a PVDF material and is characterized by a combination of chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Fluorodur is being used in research projects at Czech Academy of Sciences to 3D print high-strength sealant structures for geology equipment.
