Inauguration and Guests
Bad Wimpfen - Solvay inaugurated a new plant for the synthesis module ETFBO. Among the guests were the Baden-Wuerttemberg Interior Minister Reinhold Gall, Mayor Claus Brechter, as well as representatives of the country and city.
Plant Capacity and Investment
The new system was integrated into an existing building and has an annual capacity of 1,000 tons. The decision to invest 5 million euros was made in August last year. After completion of the approval process, construction started in May of this year. Initial quantities of the sample were produced in October.
Focus on CF3 Chemistry
Since the 1980s, CF3 chemistry has been a significant part of the work at the site. The procedure for producing Trifluoracetylchlorid (TFAC) was developed at that time, which is now a strong product and raw material for ETFBO. The plant quickly expanded to include more CF3 products.
Strategic Importance
Bad Wimpfen is the main site for these fluorinated specialties. The local research expertise, qualified staff, and production experience are unique and provide a competitive advantage. The plant works closely with pesticide manufacturers as important customers.
