We have extensive experience in developing and manufacturing aliphatic fluorinated compounds and derivatives. Developing new molecules based on TFAC and other compounds of our product range, is one of our key strengths.

Our development process aims at achieving the ideal synthesis route and production process: efficient and cost-effective. The service comprises the delivery of a first sample as well as trials at our pilot plant. We relieve you from REACH registration and ensure flexible and safe delivery. We help you speed up your development and to save valuable time to market.

Capabilities and Services 



Solvay has been among the market leaders in fluorine chemistry for many years. Our R & D team possesses deep expertise in developing new fluorinated building blocks and intermediates. Our service covers all steps of the development process. Starting with the development of new molecules based on TFAC and first sample preparation through to the full set of necessary HSE and REACH registration, we are your partner. 



Technologies 



Sophisticated fluorination technologies such as fluorinations with F₂, C = O to CF₂ transformations as well as C–OH to C – F transformations and asymetric fluorinations are leading-edge technologies we master. 



We have expertise in gas and liquid phase fluorination. Our technology range comprises chlorination, bromination, esterification, amidation, amination, decarboxylation, reduction and dehalogenation. 



Consider us your first choice provider for organic fluorinated intermediates.

The rapidly growing world population means that highly efficient plant protection products have become crucial. More than 50% of agrochemicals recently developed contain fluorine because of its efficiency increasing attributes for fungicides, herbicides and insecticides.

SOLVAY offers top-quality products using innovative, cost-effective production lines to meet the business challenges which the agrochemical industry faces.

In addition to the commercialized aliphatic fluorinated products we already provide at large scale, we will develop new molecules to meet your specific needs.

We invite you to have a look at our product range for agrochemicals.

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

Our aliphatic fluorinated building blocks can be used for a variety of applications such as electronic conducting materials, photovoltaics but also coating materials for flat panel displays, touch screens and fingerprint scanners.

Fluorinated acids, alcohols as well as our ketones have excellent solvent properties. These compounds are used as solvents in chemical reactions, effluents in chromatographic separations and as solvents in polymer applications. Fluorinated alcohols and ketones are applicable as ligands in catalysts, fluorinated acids combine solvent properties with acidic catalyst functions.
