Specialty Polymers

Solvay Plastics is continuously exploring new technologies, developing new products and serving new markets.

Solvay Plastics is a leading world producer of specialty polymers. Each of these plastics contains a diverse assortment of materials. Polymerization techniques and additives (plasticizers, pigments, fillers, etc.) can enhance the properties of a single polymer (flow, mechanical strength, etc.).
Solvay Plastics is highly diversified, with markets developing on all five continents.

Aromatic Polyamides
High temperature/high performance nylons.
