Solvay products are used throughout scores of diverse markets where their properties match a wide range of specific needs for differentiated applications.

Metallurgy
Solvay’s products are instrumental in the efficient processing of many metals, from extraction to processing, finishing and post use recycling. Hydrogen peroxide and fluor products are used for a vast range of galvanising, degreasing and finishing purposes.

Tanning and textiles
In tanning, sodium bicarbonate is used to neutralise the skin acids, whilst hydrogen peroxide bleaches, cleans and recovers animal protein.
In textiles, peroxides provide stable and dazzling whiteness in fibres, without causing effluent problems.

Paints, coatings and inks
Fine PCC filler used in paint formulations significantly improves surface quality and enhances colour. In inks, too the inclusion of fine crystalline PCC enhances their flow performance and colour intensity.
