Chiyoda Corporation (Chiyoda) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract by Kureha Corporation (Kureha), in collaboration with IHI Plant Corporation (IHI Plant), to increase the capacity of the monomer process for producing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) at Kureha’s Iwaki facility, its primary production site and one of its largest investments.
As a binder in lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) and an engineering plastic used in industry, Kureha has prepared an expected growth scenario for their PVDF business due to PVDF’s increasing demand in the automotive market because of the accelerating drive towards a sustainable environment. Through this project, Chiyoda continues to contribute towards realizing carbon neutrality and the development of a sustainable society in line with our management philosophy of ‘Energy and Environment in Harmony’.
