Solvay Solexis is a lead producer of fluorinated melt processable polymers. Those fluoropolymers are used as molded, shaped, and extruded products including pipe, monofilament, rod, tubing, wire and cable insulation, pumps, valves, and filter cartridges for high demanding applications.
AquivionTM: this low-EW PFSA ionomer is a copolymer produced from TFE and the comonomer C2F3-O-(CF2)2-SO2F. Membrane-Electrode-Assembly (MEA) producers enjoy benefits from its short side chain. Both Aquivion membranes and dispersions are vital for the manufacturing for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC) stacks.
Halar® ECTFE: recommended for the applications exceeding the capabilities of PVDF, as it offers broader chemical it offers broader chemical resistance to acids and strong bases (up to pH 14) and thermal resistance (from cryogenic to +150°C) maintaining outstanding mechanical properties.
Hyflon® PFA/MFA offer the highest temperature rating, and broadest chemical resistance of all melt processable fluoropolymers. Their excellent properties make them particularly suitable for the plenum wire and cable industry for the insulation of high temperature cables, heating cables, and signal wires.
Solef® PVDF and Hylar PVDF: used in the production of piping systems and other fluid handling system components such as pumps, vessels, meters, valves, tubing… They offer a wide continuous use service temperature (from -40°C to +150°C), outstanding fire resistance, excellent chemical resistance, ultrahigh purity and superior aging resistance.
