Motorists seek comfort, safety and protection. In a number of ways Solvay chemicals enhance car user satisfaction.

Inside the car
Sodium bicarbonate-based powder is a main component of car fire extinguishers.
Fluor gases are used in automotive air conditioning systems.

Outside the car
Fine calcium carbonate fillers are used in the manufacture of protective paints, and in water-tight and corrosion-resistant mastics used to seal external accessories. 

Glass
Car glass for windscreens and windows is made using Solvay soda products.

Under the hood
The NOCOLOK® aluminium brazing technology is used to produce automotive heat exchangers, such as radiators, coolers and air-conditioning condensers.
