Enhanced design and connectivity
We provide cutting edge materials to meet the challenges of increasingly demanding electrical and electronics industries.
As the increased miniaturization, conductivity and complexity of electrical components mean greater demands on materials, our specialty polymers can replace metal in components where strength, rigidity and aesthetics are important in mobile phones, tablets and laptops, while offering unparalleled design flexibility.
Similarly, the lighting and display markets are more and more demanding, and we have developed new generation materials for Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED), delivering high quality diffuse light from thin and potentially flexible displays, as well as LCDs and electrochromism for new smart windows.

Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) is more and more used for the manufacturing of semiconductor devices such as IC (integrated circuits), flat panels, photovoltaic panels and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems).
SF6 is applied in the above process as an etching gas. Due to the density and large molecule size, SF6 is a prefered etching gas in flat panel and MEMS production processes.
Fluorinated gases, such as Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6), play very important roles in the manufacturing of silicon devices.
Gas purity is of key importance in this market segment, because any possibility of contamination has to be minimized. For this purpose Solvay offers N5.0 material (purity min. 99.999 %)
