Superior Cation Conductivity with Outstanding Thermal and Chemical Stability
Aquivion® ionomer enables solutions for megatrend-related challenges such as zero-emission transportation and integration of renewable energy in electrical grids. With the industry’s broadest range of product forms and compositions, ranging from ionomer membranes, dispersion and other perfluorinated product forms, Syensqo’s Aquivion® portfolio is a key material for electrical storage and conversion devices such as fuel cells, electrolyzers and flow batteries used in conjunction with zero-emission electricity sources. These innovative materials are based on the Short Side Chain (SSC) copolymer of Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and Sulfonyl Fluoride Vinyl Ether (SFVE).
Why Aquivion®?
- Superior cation conductivity
- Outstanding chemical stability
- Excellent thermal stability (up to 230°C in most cases)
- Broad range of chemical compositions (equivalent weight)
- 20+ year track record of development and industrialization

Market Applications
Aquivion® ionomers offer a broad range of solutions for hydrogen conversion, electricity storage and process reaction.
The superior cation conductivity of the material is leveraged in fuel cells for zero-emission transportation in trucks, busses and passenger cars, providing “clean air” mobility in metropolitan areas and in Redox-Flow batteries to answer the growing need for electricity storage systems due to the increase of renewable electricity developments.
Aquivion® ionomers have outstanding chemical and thermal stability that enables high-efficiency green hydrogen production with a lower carbon footprint.
In the chemical industry, the material is used as a solid reusable catalyst and replaces disposable liquid organic acids such as sulfuric acid or HF, thereby eliminating large amounts of chemical waste that need to be either treated prior to disposal or recycled in a difficult or energy-intensive way.
Product Line
- Aquivion® Dispersions: Aquivion® dispersions are water-based dispersions, contain the acid form (R-SO3H) and are available in various Equivalent Weights (EWs). One grade is in the Lithium salt form (R-SO3Li). Syensqo’s sophisticated dispersion technology provides products that remain Newtonian at aqueous state or when mildly formulated with n-propanol..
