PVDF - A Key Material for Storage Batteries (Lithium-ion Batteries)

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a key material for lithium-ion batteries, enabling a stable output of renewable energy. The demand for PVDF continues to expand, particularly as a binder (adhesive) for lithium-ion secondary batteries (LiBs) used for automotive applications, due to increasing global environmental awareness.

Contributing to the Electrification of Automobiles and Domestic Production/Stable Supply of Batteries

PVDF is a core business for the customer, Kureha Corporation, and they have envisioned a future business growth scenario with high expectations. Chiyoda was contracted to undertake the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work for the facility, one of its largest ever investments, to enhance production.

Through this project, we will continue contributing to the domestic production and stable supply of battery energy, key to the electrification of automobiles, and the widespread adoption of renewable energy supporting the realization of a decarbonized society.
