SOLVAY ADVANCED POLYMERS INTRODUCES NEW WEB SITE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MEMBRANE INDUSTRY
21 August 2002 - Solvay Advanced Polymers Llc

Expanding on over 20 years of experience in supplying proven materials for polymeric membranes, Solvay Advanced Polymers, L.L.C., has launched a new web site that is designed to help manufacturers and their end users better understand the benefits of using polymers for membranes.

Manufacturers can access the site at www.solvaymembranes.com to learn about the company’s portfolio of products. This includes its family of sulfone polymers (UDEL polysufone, RADEL A polyethersulfone and RADEL R polyphenylsulfone) as well its line of SOLEF fluoropolymers.

Membranes are semi-permeable barriers that allow certain substances such as water to pass through, while other substances like bacteria and viruses are selectively separated and not allowed to pass through. Typical applications include water purification (both potable and waste), gas separation, medical filtration, and fuel cell membranes as well as a variety of industrial filtration applications such as food and beverage processing.

Rather than focus only on providing content that drives sales, the new site takes the opportunity to educate visitors about polymeric membranes, what they are, the materials used to make them, and why they’re important. And while there is plenty of detailed product data for the technically minded, the site also correlates science with bottom line business benefits.

“Manufacturers can access this new web site to find out how our resins fit into their world, how these materials can be used to make a polymeric membrane with the performance they need. They can order samples of our polymers to help them find the right material for their process, application and requirements,” said Judy Melville, Solvay Advanced Polymers’ global industry manager for membranes. In addition, if they have technical or business questions, manufacturers can locate members of the company’s commercial and technical membrane team anywhere in the world, simply by clicking on the appropriate section of the world map.

The lower level of cyclic dimer present in the polymer can reduce scaling and promote longer run times. In addition, UDEL P-3500 LCD may offer a number of technical advantages such as higher fiber strength for fewer fiber breaks and more consistent filtration, plus fewer surface defects. Both factors can help improve membrane performance and production yield.
