Pharmaceuticals

The pharmaceutical segment includes a wide range of applications & functionalities such as API (mineral source, pH-regulator, wound disinfection, laxative), Excipient (tablet and capsule diluent, effervescent agent, alkalizing agent, drying agent) and Medical Device (hemodialysis, disinfection agent etc.). The Solvay‘s chemical sector therefore offers a wide spectrum of specialty raw materials that meet the requirements of our customers.

Pharmaceuticals are also a very important market for our Solkane pharma-aerosols, which offer an ozone-friendly solution for metered-dose inhalers. This market is also very important for the organic intermediates, as a growing number of blockbuster drugs contain fluorine atoms because they increase bioactivity of the API. Fluorine can be found in different medicinal treatments such as Analgesics, Anesthetics, Antibiotics, Anticancer agents, Antifungals, Antiviral drugs, Anti-HIV treatments for example.
