The plastics sector is highly diversified, with markets developing on all five continents. Solvay companies are in the top division for the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and for many engineering polymers. Each of these plastics contains a diverse assortment of materials. Polymerization techniques and additives (plasticizers, pigments, fillers, etc.) can multiply the properties of a single polymer (flow, mechanical strength, etc.).
  
 
  

The know-how we have acquired in the field of plastics enables us to produce custom-made formulations in line with developments in processing technology and consumer quality requirements.
Moreover, in association with JV partners we produce pipes and fittings as well as fuel systems.

After use, these plastics can be recycled or their energy value recovered by clean incineration.
