Solvay announced that Scinor Beijing Membrane Technology chose Solef® PVDF to optimize its TIPS membrane technology. TIPS – for Thermally Infused Phase Separation – has applications in reverse osmosis pretreatment as well as industrial and drinking water applications. The excellent chemical resistance of Solef® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was one key factor in Scinor’s decision, as well as Solvay’s exacting suspension polymerization process for the material, which makes it possible to produce homogenous, linear fibers that are ideal for TIPS and similar ultrafiltration processes.
