What is Solvay expanding in Taiwan, and when will the expansion be completed?

Solvay is expanding its electronic-grade hydrogen peroxide production capacity in Taiwan through its joint venture, Shinsol Advanced Chemicals; the expansion is set for completion by the end of 2026 and will more than double the facility’s annual output.

Why is electronic-grade hydrogen peroxide critical for semiconductor manufacturing, according to Solvay?

According to Solvay, electronic-grade hydrogen peroxide is essential for cleaning semiconductor wafers during chip manufacturing, where ultra-high purity is critical—especially as chips become smaller and more complex, since even microscopic impurities can impact performance, and Solvay’s products are designed to meet the stringent quality and reliability demands of advanced semiconductor technologies.
