乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Plans Increased Production of EV Battery Materials in Conroe, Texas

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today announced that its Performance Products division is planning to significantly increase its existing capacity for ULTRAPURE鈩� Ethylene Carbonate at its Conroe, Texas facility by mid-2023. ULTRAPURE鈩� Ethylene Carbonate is critical to the reliable operation and long working life of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and electronics.

In recent years, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 has seen strong growth in ULTRAPURE鈩� Ethylene Carbonate tied to the evolution of EVs and the localization of lithium-ion battery production. To meet this increased demand, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 has added a range of new high-purity grades of Ethylene Carbonate for EV battery applications.

"We are committed to providing excellent service to our customers and are well positioned to grow with this sustainable industry, helping to reduce emissions in the transportation sector," he added.
