Solvay Advanced Polymers, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Solvay America Inc., was formed in November 2001 by combining Solvay's existing line of engineering polymers with those acquired from BP Amoco. The combination of these assets created a major new participant in the high performance plastics industry oriented to meeting customer's requirements.
Solvay Advanced Polymers' product line consists of amorphous, semi-crystalline and ultra-high performance polymers. The amorphous materials include UDEL polysulfone, RADEL A polyethersulfone, RADEL R polyphenylsulfone, ACUDEL polyphenysulfone blends, and MINDEL modified polysulfone resins. The semi-crystalline materials include AMODEL polyphthalamide, IXEF polyarylamide, PRIMEF polyphenylene sulfide and XYDAR liquid crystal polymers. The ultra-high performance materials include TORLON polyamide-imide and KADEL aromatic polyketone. Together these products represent the broadest range of high performance polymers offered by any company in the world.
Our products have been proven to meet the challenges posed by high temperatures, mechanical stresses, and aggressive chemical environments present in diverse market areas including aerospace, automotive, electronics, food service, industrial equipment, medical, plumbing, water purification, and others. Compounds, developed internally and produced at our plants, allow us to further tailor the properties of our products, through the addition of additive and fillers, to meet the demanding needs of the markets we serve.
Our people have successfully solved problems in difficult markets and applications for over 35 years. Working with your engineers we assist our customers with material selection, part and mold design, fabrication methods, and troubleshooting. We strive to help you optimize your application for cost, performance and reliability. With offices in the America's, Europe, Japan, and South East Asia, our people are close at hand.
Our people are dedicated to establishing close working relationships with our customers from project conception through commercialization. We are looking forward to hearing from you to see how we can work together toward our mutual success on your next project.
