A greener way to make Adipic Acid

Adipic acid is essential in the production of nylon, plastics, resins, coatings, adhesives, and synthetic lubricants. Traditionally, its production has been linked to high greenhouse gas emissions. At Solvay, we’ve changed that.

Our Rhodiacid® Adipic Acid delivers one of the lowest carbon footprints worldwide, combining industrial reliability with sustainability. Verified by independent third-party analysis, our process achieves up to 45% lower carbon footprint compared to the global average.

This innovation reflects our commitment to transparency and environmental responsibility, ensuring customers can meet performance needs while advancing their sustainability goals.
