Chemicals Sector - Construction and architecture

In the diversified construction market Solvay offers a wide range of products for a number of applications.

Road building
Road foundations made of aggregate materials are strengthened through the binding effect of calcium chloride. For non-asphalted roads, too, calcium chloride binds the road surface and thus greatly minimises dust raising problems.

Concrete and cement additive

Concrete product strength is enhanced through the addition of calcium chloride and hardening time is reduced; the same product reduces cement oven temperatures, thus saving energy.

Building coatings and protection
Fine calcium carbonate fillers are widely used in the manufacture of outdoor paints and coatings.

Insulated panels

Fluorinated gases are used as the insulating agent in rigid foam insulating panels. These insulating panels help reduce energy consumption and thus minimise carbon dioxide emissions.

Air conditioning systems

Fluorinated gases are the most energy-efficient substances available for air-conditioning systems, and they are practically non-toxic and non-flammable.
