Solvay Specialty Polymers announced a major series of global supply chain initiatives to expand the availability of its KetaSpire® polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and AvaSpire® polyaryletherketone (PAEK) products. This effort also benefits the global availability of Torlon® polyamide-imide (PAI), a polymer whose ultra-performance capabilities complement those of PEEK and PAEK. Key components of this initiative include the deployment of new production assets in China for production of KetaSpire and AvaSpire compounds and the creation of new distribution centers for KetaSpire, AvaSpire and Torlon resins in vital regions of the world. Both elements of the initiative are aimed at providing excellent availability and supply of Solvay's ultra high-performance polymers to support growth in a diverse range of applications spanning the transportation, healthcare, electronics, oil and gas, and semiconductor manufacturing markets.
In China, production of KetaSpire PEEK and AvaSpire PAEK compounds has commenced at Solvay's Changshu production site. In the Asian corridor, Solvay has established new distribution centers in Singapore, China, Japan, and South Korea. (Source: Solvay Specialty Polymers)
