SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on February 21, 2025, based on a complaint filed by Syensqo SA of
Brussels, Belgium; Solvay Specialty Polymers, USA LLC of Alpharetta,
Georgia; and Solvay Specialty Polymers Italy S.P.A. of Bollate, Italy
(together, ``Complainants''). 90 FR 10082-83 (Feb. 21, 2025). The
complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into
the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the
United States after importation of certain polyvinylidene fluoride
resins by reason of infringement of claims 1-7, 10, and 12 of U.S.
Patent No. 8,337,725. Id. The complaint further alleges that a domestic
industry exists or is in the process of being established. Id. The
Commission's notice of investigation named as respondents Inner
Mongolia 3F Wanhao, Fluorochemical Industry Co. Ltd. of Fengzhen, China
(``3F''); Zhejiang Juhua Co., Ltd. of Quzhou City, China; Zhejiang
Fluorine Chemical New Material Co. Ltd. of Shaoxing, China; Hubei
Fluorine New Materials Co., Ltd. of Dongtan Village, China; and
Sinochem Lantian Co., Ltd. of Hangzhou, China. Id. The Office of Unfair
Import Investigations is not participating in the investigation. Id.
On April 21, 2025, the Commission terminated the investigation with
respect to 3F based on settlement. Order No. 8 (Mar. 28, 2025),
unreviewed by Comm'n Notice (Apr. 21, 2025).
On November 18, 2025, Complainants moved for leave to amend the
complaint and notice of investigation to change the name of two
complainants to reflect corporate name changes: (1) Solvay Specialty
Polymers, USA LLC to Syensqo Specialty Polymers, USA LLC; and (2)
Solvay Specialty Polymers Italy S.P.A. to Syensqo Specialty Polymers
Italy S.P.A. No party opposed the motion.
On November 19, 2025, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 19)
granting the motion pursuant to 19 CFR 210.14(b)(1). The ALJ found that
there was good cause to change the names of the two complainants to
reflect their corporate name changes and that the change would not
result in prejudice. No party petitioned for review of the subject ID.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on December
5, 2025.
The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and
in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR
part 210).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: December 9, 2025.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
