China to See PVDF Production Capacity Start Up in Coming Years

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a binder and separator coating material for lithium battery cathodes. It features strong adhesion, chemical stability and good temperature characteristics. The price of PVDF in China soared from US$14,000 per ton in April 2021 to about US$70,000 per ton currently.

The price of PVDF is expected to continue to rise with the development of the electric vehicle industry. CITIC Securities predicts that it will be difficult to alleviate the shortage of PVDF supply in the next two years.

Industrial Info is tracking 17 active PVDF projects, valued at US$1.59 billion, in China. Among these projects, two are expected to start operation in the third quarter of 2023.
