 Dyneon, one of
the world’s leading fluoropolymer producers, and Arkema, a world leader in fluorochemicals
production, announced the signature of a long-term contract to supply HCFC22 (HydroChloroFluoroCarbon) to Dyneon in Burgkirchen (Germany). The
HCFC22, a raw material used to produce TFE (TetraFluoroEthylene) used
in applications requiring chemical resistance, high service temperature, low
friction, and high purity, will be produced on Arkema’s Pierre-Bénite
industrial site (France),
from 2010.
According to Pierre Chanoine, Executive Vice President
Performance Products, “this agreement is designed to provide Dyneon with
long-term access to HCFC22 in Europe, and is a
further illustration of Arkema’s long-term commitment to fluorochemicals”.
"For
Dyneon the agreement with Arkema is a key cornerstone to secure our long term
supply for one of our most important raw materials. With Arkema we found a
partner, which helps us building a solid base for further sustainable growth",
said Michael G.Peters, managing director of Dyneon GmbH. |
