Chemours Netherlands B.V. is a subsidiary of The Chemours Company, operating a major fluorochemical production facility in Dordrecht, Netherlands, established in 1959. It serves as Chemours' primary European manufacturing site and one of the region's largest employers.
The company specializes in the production of fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers, including iconic brands Teflon™ and Viton™. These high-performance materials, valued for their exceptional chemical resistance, heat tolerance, and durability, are essential in applications such as semiconductors, clean energy technologies (e.g., fuel cells and batteries), medical devices, 5G infrastructure, and automotive components.
As part of Chemours' global operations in titanium technologies, thermal solutions, and advanced performance materials, the Dordrecht plant supports industries critical to the energy transition and European Green Deal. The facility has invested heavily in sustainability, including €75 million to reduce PFAS emissions by over 99% from 2017 levels, with advanced wastewater treatment achieving 99.9% PFAS removal, aligning with commitments to minimize environmental impact by 2030.
Selective monodisperse ion-exchange resin removed >99.9% of fluorinated organics in wastewater, targeting short-chain PFAS via a 3-stage RO, carbon, resin cascade; spent resin incinerated.
IFAT showcase: ion‑exchange resins and adsorbents for regenerable phosphorus removal (Bayoxide E IN 20), PFAS and fluoride (MDS/TP resins), micropollutants (VP OC), and the LewaPlus design tool.
