Chemicals

Our commitment to pioneering new applications is expanding the envelope
for new materials and performance chemicals.

Our chemical business started with the need to secure supplies of soda ash for glass production.
Ion-exchange membranes were a spin-off from the technical advances made along the way. Today, we supply a wide range of high value-added derivatives, a business that originated in chlorine produced during electrolysis. The two main pillars of this business are our technical leadership in fluorinated resins (fluoro-resins) and in urethane. Highly sophisticated products include Cytop transparent fluoropolymers used in optical filters for PDPs and in plastic optical fibers. Moreover, our high-performance polyols are used in special grades of urethane that feature outstanding insulation and cushioning and are widely used in motor vehicle seats and furniture,etc

*"Lumiflon": Fluoropolymer for coatings

*"Fluon ®": Fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers and fluoropolymer films,etc.

Fluoropolymer films   "Fluon ETFE"film

Fluoropolymer films, which are used in optical filters for PDPs,
contain our "CYTOP™" transparent fluoropolymer.

 

"Fluon ETFE"film features fluoro-resins characteristic ease of cleaning,and is finding increasing applications as a replacement for PVC film in greenhouses.

Paints containing "Lumiflon" fluoropolymers

Paints containing "Lumiflon"fluoropolymers are highly durable,protecting the structures ~buildings,bridges and ships,etc. ~that they adorn.
