In oil & gas industry applications, Solvay's plastics are well suited to operation under high pressures, at extreme temperatures and in aggressive environments.

Transport of crude oil
Solvay high performance plastics are used in various pipeline applications, in down-hole operations, for cable jacketing, insulation and injection tubing encapsulation.

Seals and gaskets
Fluropolymers are ideal materials for many critical applications, such as seals, gaskets, expansion joints and fittings.

Gas supply systems
Pipelife, a Solvay joint venture company, produces and distributes an integrated system of pipes, fittings, and welds that is particularly resistant to pressure, thus providing a high level of security.
