Completion of Capacity Expansion for DuPont? Teflon® Announced
According to DuPont Fluoroproducts, the expansion program was primarily focused on Teflon® fine powder and dispersion resins, and included investment in both facilities and state- of-the-art technology. Most of the investment was directed toward the DuPont facility in Parkersburg, West Virginia, the largest fluoropolymer manufacturing facility in the world. Upgrades also were implemented at the DuPont fluoropolymer manufacturing sites in Dordrecht, The Netherlands, and Shimizu, Japan.
"Expanding the global capacity for DuPont Teflon® reinforces our position as the longtime leader among fluoropolymer producers, and will help ensure that customers around the world have the products they require as economic conditions improve and demand for PTFE returns to a more normal pattern of growth," said David Boothe, global business manager - Teflon® PTFE, for DuPont Fluoroproducts.
