Materials and equipment for chemical plants have to be corrosion resistant. They have to operate at high temperatures over long periods of time.  Solvay has a wide range of products to match these rigorous demands.

Equipment and components
Solvay plastics are used in the manufacture of equipment components such as valves, flow meters and heat exchangers.

Seals and joints
Seals and O-rings made from high performance elastomers offer long service reliability, whilst PTFE is ideal for expansion joints, gaskets, bellows and membranes.

Coatings and linings
High performance plastics are widely used as heavy duty coatings for tanks, vessels and pumps, and in scrubbing towers for their performance.  Solvay has developed an advanced solution for waterborne protective paints.

Liquid transport
The chemical inertness of fluoropolymer lining material protects metallic piping against corrosion. Fluoropolymers are also extensively used in monolayer pressure piping systems.

Additives for chemical formulation and compounding applications
Fluoropolymer additives offer valuable product improvements for paint formulation and in plastics and rubber compounding
