Boeing approached Solvay due to its experience in the use of advanced composite and adhesive materials on multiple commercial and defense programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufactured by Solvay’s Ajedium Films business, the thermoplastic film will be used by Boeing in the production of thousands of face shields critically needed by hospitals and medical workers in the U.S. to protect them from COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film will be manufactured using Solvay\u2019s medical-grade Radel polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) or Udel polysulfone (PSU), two transparent specialty polymers widely used for medical devices because of their ability to be sterilised and withstand aggressive disinfectants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
