More than 50% of agrochemicals recently developed contain fluorine because of its efficiency increasing attributes for fungicides, herbicides and insecticides.   Air Conditioning and Refrigeration This market uses the entire range of Solkane® refrigerants and the inorganic fluoride, Nocolok® Flux. The revolutionizing aspects of both product areas depend on Solvay Fluor's specialization and professionalism in inorganic and organic fluorine production.   Automotive The automotive industry makes use of a diverse range of products from inorganic fluorides such as elemental fluoride, NOCOLOK® Flux, and Synth. Calcium Fluoride to Solkane® 134a refrigerant and Solkane® blowing agents.   Chemicals Alongside elemental fluoride itself, fluorinated intermediates, such as IF5, are important for our chemicals market. Solvay's Fluor's broad knowledge of fluorine application technologies are as vital as its production and supply of elemental fluoride.   Construction Industry Solkane® foaming agents are designed for the production of low density plastic foams. Main types are Polyurethane, Polystyrene and Phenolic ones. Foams produced with Solkane® have a fine cell structure with good insulation properties. The use of Solkane® leads to substantial energy savings and redu   Electrical Engineering The suberb insulating and ARC extinguishing qualities of the inorganic fluoride, SF6, make it an important and progressive material in the field of electrical engineering.   Electronic Additives Electronic Additives   Electronic and Coating Additives Electronic and Coating Additives   Fire Safety HFC Fire Extinguishing Agents Solkaflam®   Glass Glass manufacturing can obtain special quality effects by using inorganic fluorides such as cryolite synth. powder and ammonium bifluoride, or organic intermediates from the CF3 product line, such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and trifluoroacetic acid ethyl ester (TFAEt).   Lithium Ion Batteries Monofluoroethylene carbonate is applied for the use in batteries and accumulators.   Metallurgy Non-corrodible and acid resistant chromium- and chromium-nickel steel is cleaned predominantly in pickling baths containing hydrofluoric acid. Pickling pastes often consist of ammonium- or sodium bifluoride as HF-containing components.   Metals This industry uses a large variety of inorganic fluorides. From brazing to melting, casting to smelting, and coating to welding -all processes would be nearly impossible without fluoride's properties.   Pharmaceuticals A market most dependant on our Solkane pharma-aerosols, which offer an ozone-friendly solution for metered-dose inhalers. The pharmaceutical industry, also depends on the Solkane refrigerant R 22 and the boosting capabilities of our organic intermediates.   Plastics The plastics industry utilizes elemental fluoride itself to achieve desired properties in its products.   Semi-conductors Industry High performance liquids and gases for wet and dry plasma etching, CMP, Cleaning and silicon purifying as well as wafer production are used by the semiconductor industry for devices manufacturing.   Solvents Solvents   Solvents and Catalysts Fluorinated acids, alcohols as well as our ketones have excellent solvent properties. This compounds are used as solvents in chemical reactions, effluents in chromatographic separations and as solvents in polymer applications.
