Epichlorohydrin is manufactured in our factories of Rheinberg (Germany) and Tavaux (France).

Solvay is building a new epichlorohydrin plant on its industrial site of Tavaux implementing a new process with greatly enhanced environmental performance.

The process, called Epicerol^TM was successfully developed by Solvay's R&D and is based on tne transformation of glycerine, a by-product of the biodiesel industry. The new plant is scheduled to be operational by the first half of 2007.
