Innovating for a more sustainable future

Sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. Our mission is to develop high-performance solutions that help industries reduce environmental impact, enhance safety, and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable world. By addressing key megatrends—such as electrification, responsible sourcing, lightweighting, and advanced connectivity—we are shaping the future of clean energy, mobility, and consumer applications.

Beyond Fluorosurfactants: Breakthrough polymerization technologies

We are leading the industry in the transition beyond fluorosurfactants (a type of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances - PFAS - used as process aids), setting a new standard for high-performance, sustainable materials. With our breakthrough patented polymerization technology, we introduced a first portfolio of Tecnoflon® peroxide curable fluoroelastomers (FKM) produced without the use of fluorosurfactants in 2022 and now we are launching a market-first non-fluorosurfactant Tecnoflon® perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) in response to the industries’ evolving needs for performance and greater sustainability.

Our proprietary NFS (non-fluorosurfactant) technology marks a revolutionary advancement in fluoropolymer production, ensuring that next-generation materials meet the highest safety, performance, and environmental standards.

Expanding on this breakthrough, Syensqo has also launched Aquivion® N+ 125D, a fluoro-ionomer produced with NFS technology, now commercially available worldwide. This next-generation material is designed for hydrogen-related applications, reinforcing our commitment to innovation that accelerates the clean energy transition.

By working closely with customers and industries, we ensure a seamless shift to non-fluorosurfactant (NFS) technologies, delivering alternatives that meet both regulatory compliance and environmental responsibility.
