The versatility of plastics provides a great variety of consumer products, particularly for leisure and for sports.  Owing to the excellent combination of processing flexibility and visual properties, Solvay plastics are also ideal for the manufacture of household goods such as cookware, toys, garden equipment and furniture.  They are the all-round winner for beach, garden and pool products, whilst specialty plastics are chosen for structural components in high-tech personal appliances and sports items.

House fittings
Solvay plastics offer design freedom, economic production, sturdiness, easy maintenance and good performance.  They are robust, lightweight and durable.  They are especially recommended for applications where an attractive appearance is vital, including interior decorative components such as doors, internal partitioning, ceilings, shop fittings; furniture.

Food service and cookware
Solvay offers a wide range of high performance polymers for the food service and cookware market designed for food contact applications.  These products are exceptionally stable, as exposure to boiling water, disinfectants and cleansers, commercial application chemicals, and steam sterilization used in industrial applications does not significantly affect their properties.  In addition, no extractables can be detected after an extended number of cleaning cycles and they are proven to be dishwasher and microwave safe.

Sport and leisure
Properties such as light weight and toughness, which bring additional advantages to cookware applications, are important as well in high-tech applications.  The high rigidity of polymers make them invaluable for thin sections in lightweight, precision-moulded bicycle braking components, and for smooth surfaces in razor housings.  Fishing rods, too, benefit from specialty plastics for the reel and for the line; transparency, making lines practically invisible in water, is an added advantage.
