(Solutia) -- Solutia
Inc. announced the opening of its new Vistasolar(R) ethylene vinyl acetate
(EVA) manufacturing center in Suzhou, China. The new facility recently passed
major testing milestones and is now ready to supply commercial-grade Vistasolar
EVA encapsulant for use in solar modules. This announcement marks the latest in
a series of investments Solutia has made to help solar module manufacturers
lower the total cost of production and help make solar energy competitive with
traditional sources of energy.
Solutia is the market leader for EVA films in Europe and the first global
supplier to build an EVA manufacturing center in China. Chinese solar module
manufacturers currently produce more than half of all modules installed
globally, and this new manufacturing center will strengthen Solutia's position
to reliably supply high-quality solar encapsulants to the Chinese photovoltaic
market. Solutia also produces encapsulants in Germany, Belgium, the United
States, Mexico and Brazil.
