Plastics are the hidden force behind the extraordinary success of the electronics revolution.  Solvay products are used to manufacture semiconductors, and as materials for electronic components, cable insulation and jacketing applications.

Semiconductors
The silicon chip semiconductor is the miniature brain of our time. The manufacture of these wafers is dependent on acid etching, which requires robust and high purity plastics for the handling equipment.   

Electronics
Electronic equipment depends on printed circuits. These components rely on long-life, reliable plastics components having exceptional electrical resistance.

Wire and cable
Wires and cables have to be flexible, scratch and corrosion resistant, and they must last a long time. In public buildings they have to meet stringent fire and smoke safety requirements.

Electrical components
Precision manufactured and lightweight plastics are used for electronic engineered products.  

Magnetic cards
Solvay is a proven supplier of plastics to worldwide manufacturers.
