The food chain requires ingredients, disinfection and cooling in order to conserve and protect edible goods before they reach the consumer. Solvay offers services and products in these activities.

Refrigeration
Solvay fluor refrigerant gases play an important role in the food chain by keeping food chilled and cooled. They perform as refrigerant fluids in the cooling circuit and for insulation in the rigid foam cabinets.

Disinfection
Dairies and breweries use peracetic acid disinfectants in cleaning equipment, whilst high purity hydrogen peroxide is used for aseptic sterilisation of lightweight paperboard and plastic packages.

Food and Feed additives
Solvay food and beverage additives not only improve processing, but also enhance flavour, colour and quality.

Agriculture
Solvay organic products are used in agrochemical industry.

Horticultural storage
Peracetic acid disinfection of storage areas and surfaces reduces food losses due to fungi, viruses and algae.
