Our lives depend on water, one of the earth’s most precious elements.  Solvay products are suitable for the diverse types of equipment and components used in the treatment and transport of water. 

Water purification
Solvay plastics are used to fabricate water filtration membranes used in water purification plants. These filters allow the passage of water, but prevent the passage of harmful bacteria and pathogens.

Plumbing
Specialty plastics supplied by Solvay for the plumbing market include materials for fittings and manifolds, for tubing and multi-layer pipe systems, and for internal faucet (tap) components.

Pipes
Plastic pipes can carry water with or without pressure and are particularly effective for sheathing of central heating pipes and as piping for garden and fire hoses.
Pipelife, a Solvay joint venture company, produces and distributes complete systems of pipelines and fittings for water supply, sewerage, irrigation and drainage.

Soil remediation
Plastics are used for liners and membranes.
