Because of its excekent combination of properties, processibkity, and relatively low price compared to other fluoropolymers, PVDF has become the largest volume fluoropolymer after PTFE consumption in the United States has grown from zero in 1960 to about 6200 metric tons in 1991 (186). About 49% of the consumed volume is PVDF modified by copolymerization with 5—12-wt % HFP to enhance flexibkity. In 1992, Hst price for homopolymer powders was 15.32/kg, and for pekets 15.42/kg the reported market price was 14.09—14.22/kg (187). In the United States, almost ak PVDF is suppHed by Ausimont USA, Inc., Elf Atochem North America, Inc., and Solvay Polymers, Inc. Ausimont and Elf Atochem are producers Solvay is an importer of the resin. Smak amounts of resin are imported from Germany by Huls America, Inc, and from Japan by Kureha Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. PVDE producers and their trademarks are Hsted in Table 4.

The PVDF production in Thorofare, NJ, was originally built by Pennwalt and was diversified to Ausimont in 1999. In late 2001, Solvay started up its Decater, Alabama, plant with a capacity of 5000 MT. In 2002, Ausimont sold its Thorofare plant to Solvay and Solvay diversified its Decater plant to Dyneon (a 3M subsidiary). In 2003, Arkema expanded its PVDF production in Pierre-Benite, France.
