Invista and Solvay settle dispute

28/04/2014
Invista and Solvay have signed an agreement that resolves disputes related to adiponitrile (ADN) intellectual property and technology in use at their nylon 6.6 joint venture in Chalampé, France.
 
The settlement confirms Invista’s ownership of the ADN technology at Butachimie and includes a plan to upgrade the facility, one of several components in a new joint venture between the companies.
 
“Retrofitting Butachimie with Invista’s newest ADN technology will dramatically increase the plant’s efficiency,” said Warren Primeaux, president of Invista Intermediates. “Under this new joint venture, we are excited to work with Solvay to better serve our customers and support nylon 6.6 growth.”
 
The Butachimie joint venture has been operating for 40 years, and is the world’s largest ADN facility.
