Solvay, with its specialty polymers, composites, specialty chemicals and white carbon black, was unveiled at the 20th China International Industry Fair (CIIF 2018), which opened in Shanghai. In line with the theme of this exhibition, “Innovative Smart Green”, Solvay, which participates in the Industry Fair, will introduce a variety of lightweight and green materials solutions in the new material industry exhibition area of this fair, which demonstrates its full promotion. The confidence of China's industrial green development.

• Lightweight solution:

Solvay pays close attention to the lightweight needs of the aerospace and automotive sectors and provides materials that meet stringent industry regulations.

At this exhibition, Solvay brought the CYCOM® composite solution developed primarily for aerospace applications. CYCOM® has excellent structural stability and is suitable for a wide range of parts manufacturing processes. Prepregs and resin materials are available upon request. At the booth of Solvay, the visitors of the Fair can see the sub-supporting structural parts made of CYCOM® 977-2 carbon fiber composite material, and the aircraft I-beam riveted by CYCOM® X850 carbon fiber composite material. And the aircraft honeycomb sandwich structure made by CYCOM® 970 to experience the many outstanding properties of high-performance CYCOM® composites for the aerospace industry. In addition, Solvay demonstrates its ability to test composite prepregs, including a variety of physical and chemical properties such as tensile, compression, shear, and peel tests, as well as liquid chromatography, infrared, and differential scanning. 

Calorimetric analysis (DSC). The above properties ensure that its aerospace materials have special properties such as high fire resistance, chemical resistance and high impact strength.

In terms of automotive lightweighting, Solvay presented an automotive electronic control unit (ECU) housing made of a special polymer material, Amodel® PPA (polypeptide amide resin), which can be used up to 210 ° C in continuous use. At the same time of electrical performance, the vehicle's weight reduction is achieved. Not only that, professional visitors from the electronics industry can also learn about lightweight materials for mobile phones and other electronic products at the Solvay booth.

• Green environmental protection program:

As a chemical company with a strong focus on sustainability, Solvay is committed to helping people use energy and water more efficiently to create a better future.

In the field of water purification, Solvay offers a wide selection of sulfone polymers and fluoropolymers for the production of advanced polymer membranes for wastewater treatment and recovery systems. In the field of new energy, Solvay will show the audience the use of vinyl fluorocarbonate (F1EC, Fluor Ethylen Carbonate) for lithium batteries, which can be used to improve the life cycle of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries containing graphite anodes; The LiTFSi salt high performance electrolyte can increase the service life of lithium batteries by up to 20% and improve the safety of intrinsic semiconductors as well as the performance of liquid electrolyte formulations and metal lithium polymer battery (LMP) technology.

In addition, Solvay offers a wide range of options for the healthcare industry, such as Udel® PSU (polysulfone) and Veradel® PESU (polyethersulfone) for the manufacture of hemodialyzer membranes, both with good chemical resistance and high heat. Deformation temperature maintains good mechanical properties in steaming and other disinfecting environments.

"China's fast-growing market demand and huge potential have always been one of Solvay's concerns. Solvay has been using China's smart, innovative and green opportunities for nearly 40 years to provide customers with advanced materials. The solution helps customers to obtain a strong competitive advantage in the domestic and foreign markets and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results," said Sun Lihong, president of Solvay Greater China.
