206492 209151 CARDIOMETABOLIC RESIDUAL RISK REDUCTION INITIATIVES (R³I) Raising awareness about RVR <strong>THE</strong> PROJECT. Despite current standards of care, millions of patients with heart disease and/or diabetes remain exposed to a high residual risk (RR) of macro-vascular events (heart attack, stroke), and diabetic micro-vascular complications. This is the Residual Vascular Risk (RVR). Atherogenic dyslipidemia (high TG and low HDL-c) is a strong contributor to macro-vascular RR and is also implicated in diabetic micro-vascular complications, and is unaddressed by standard care procedures which include statins. The future growth of the <strong>Solvay</strong> fenofi brate-based treatment will come from the RVR market, with the co-prescription of statins. In order to substantially improve and prolong the lives of dyslipidamic patients with heart disease and/or diabetes, but also to develop the RVR market and maximize the business potential of the fenofranchise, <strong>Solvay</strong> Pharmaceuticals designed, built and funds a unique and global organization, the Residual Risk Reduction Initiative (R 3 i), aiming at raising awareness and driving the need to treat the RVR in these patients. This is a unique, innovative research and educational initiative with global and national organizations in over 40 countries worldwide which is able to educate wider physicians’ audiences, accelerate changes in physician prescribing behaviors in a cost-effective way, and signifcantly develop <strong>Solvay</strong> awareness and credibilty in the cardio-metabolic area.

COMPOUNDS FOR “BI-ORIENTED” PIPES PVC pipes: more fl exible and more durable <strong>THE</strong> PROJECT. Certain “bi-oriented” pipes have been made out of steel until now. In collaboration with our customer, we have developed the formula for a compound that allows us to produce (by extrusion) this kind of pipe in PVC. That means a whole new market for PVC compounds. The PVC compound formulation for these bi-oriented pipes with very specifi c applications was not available on the market until now, and requires a deep knowledge in additivation. These kinds of bi-oriented PVC pipes offer considerable advantages as they are much more fl exible and their life time is signifi cantly increased. Furthermore, the PVC compound material is cheaper than steel!

Airlines are increasingly looking to reduce the weight of embarked items, for obvious reasons of fuel savings and CO 2 emissions reductions. Aerocat, a full-service trolley manufacturer, formed a strategic alliance with key industry players, including <strong>Solvay</strong>, to develop a brand new generation of lightweight (25% weight less than aluminum) and fully recyclable trolleys, under the brand name Tigris. The material used, Radel ® R, complies with the stringent aircraft interiors regulations in terms of fl ammability, smoke and toxicity. Strong support from <strong>Solvay</strong> Advanced Polymers technical services has permitted the success in the manufacturing of the parts, which are considered the largest injection and extrusion thin walled parts ever seen in high temperature thermoplastics. The selected design allows high assembling production rates, avoids the use of fasteners, and provides a robust fi nal product that withstands loads up to 150 kg, which is a fi rst. Moreover, a full Radel ® R trolley allows the use of the RFID tracking system, facilitating the good management of trolleys and their contents. At the end of the trolley’s life cycle, Radel ® R parts can be ground and reused in new trolleys, permitting a reduction of carbon footprint by a factor of 2.2 versus the current aluminum trolleys. Demand for over 60 000 trolleys is foreseen by 2011. This innovation technology is already interesting other industries for parts such as galleys and meal boxes in aircraft, and other applications can be foreseen for other transport industries, such as rail and sea.
