Solvay aims to utilise its combination
of technical excellence and innovation to satisfy the needs of its customers
in the adhesive and sealant industry throughout the world.
Solvay Advanced Functional Minerals is a leading supplier of Precipitated
Calcium Carbonate (PCC) produced under the trade names of SOCAL®
and WINNOFIL®.
Ultra-fine coated SOCAL® and
WINNOFIL® achieves the desired rheological properties of
sealants thanks to their high degree of fineness, their uniform grain
size distribution, their nature and the amount of surface coating. These
qualities allow them to be used in PVC, silicone, polysulphide and polyurethane
sealants for the automotive, construction, aerospace, appliances and
other industries.
Solvay Caprolactones produce a range of products sold under the CAPA®
trademark, comprising monomer, polyols and thermoplastics used in the
manufacture of a wide range of adhesives.
CAPA® polyols are utilised in the
production of solvent based TPU adhesives, water based dispersions and
reactive hot melt adhesives. CAPA® thermoplastics
are hot melts and can be used in the manufacture of reactive hot melts
and laminating films.
