Protection & safety
We provide solutions to protect buildings against corrosion, weather and fire.
Solvay provides major components for paints & coatings to protect metals against corrosion and improve the weather resistance of the entire building. Our mastics and sealants provide air and moisture-tightness, and we also provide a wide range of materials bringing a high level of flame retardancy to key components, from switches, wires and cables to insulation panels to electrical appliances.
Additionally, low Volatile Organic Content and low odor architectural paints can be formulated with our line of non-toxic emulsifiers, solvents and paint additives that improve indoor air quality, contributing to building standards such as LEED Certification.

AvaSpire® AV-621 is an unreinforced polyaryletherketone (PAEK) that offers improved ductility and impact strength relative to PEEK while retaining most of the key performance attributes of PEEK. The AV-621 grade is the low melt flow (higher molecular weight) analogue of the medium flow grade AvaSpire® AV-651 that is tailored primarily for injection molding applications as well as film extrusion. AvaSpire® AV-621 resin is suited for a variety of processing methods including compression molding, stock shape extrusion, as well as injection molding. AV-621 has been formulated for applications requiring a balance of chemical resistance and mechanical strength along with good part aesthetics, thereby bridging the performance gaps within the ultra polymers space. These and other properties make this resin well-suited for applications in healthcare, transportation, semiconductor, electronics, chemical processing, and other industries. AvaSpire® AV-621 is easily fabricated using conventional thermoplastic melt processing techniques and standard equipment. The resin has a uniform opaque appearance with a beige color similar to that of PEEK.
