Arkema and SolVin are breaking up their vinyl polymer joint ventures in Europe. Vinilis, which makes vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in Martorell, Spain, and is already 65% owned by SolVin, will go to SolVin. France-based VinylFos and VinylBerre, which are Arkema majority-owned ventures that produce vinyl chloride and PVC, respectively, will go to Arkema. The joint ventures were formed a decade ago to integrate the companies’ chloro-vinyl production. Now Arkema and SolVin, itself a joint venture between Solvay and BASF, say they want to steer independent courses in vinyls.
