Arkema has successfully brought on stream its new High Content Ethylene - Vinyl Acetate (HC EVA) copolymer production plant at its Balan facility (Ain, France). The investment outlay for the project totalled 47 million euro, allowing Arkema to pursue its development strategy in growth markets. The new plant has been designed to produce classic HC EVAs as well as very high content specialty EVAs.
The plant has the capacity to supply 35% of the European HC EVA market, and to export 30% of its production outside Europe, in particular to North America and Asia. Marketed under the tradename Evatane®, Arkema's HC EVA technical polymers are used in countless industrial applications, in particular for the manufacture of hotmelt glues, cables, and multilayer packaging film.
