Composite Solutions for Faster, Lighter, and Safer Vehicles
Syensqo is the leading provider of composites for motorsport chassis, structural components, and bodywork applications, as our materials make up 80 to 90% of a Formula One vehicle parts. Our high level of quality coupled with robust and proven mechanical performance, and our unmatched technical expertise and support have positioned Syensqo as the partner of choice for most teams in the past decades. Syensqo’s high-performance composites offer full prepreg processing capabilities, application-specific customization, small-to-large batch flexibility, and global accessibility. These high-quality solutions are readily available and widely utilized for aerodynamics, chassis, engines, gear boxes, impact structures, suspension, tooling, and alternative motorsport applications.
Aerodynamics
Aerodynamic components in motorsport require a variety of unique properties to meet the fast-paced demands of the industry. Syensqo’s CYCOM® and MTM® composites offer several key benefits, such as excellent design freedom, rapid prototyping, manufacturing flexibility and outstanding structural performance.
Chassis
Well-designed motorsport chassis applications lower overall vehicle weight for increased performance and improved vehicle efficiency. Our composite materials for motorsport chassis, such as CYCOM® and MTM® offer an exceptional combination of lightweighting, stiffness, temperature resistance, and impact strength.
Engine, Gear Box, and Oil Tanks
Motorsport vehicles require unique engines, gearboxes, and oil tanks to reduce vehicle mass and improve performance and enhance overall design freedom. Syensqo’s CYCOM®, LTM®, MTM®, and HTM® composites are optimal for use in these secondary structural components, as they provide excellent performance in harsh conditions, good chemical resistance, and extreme temperature compatibility.
Impact Structures
Motorsport impact structures must exhibit outstanding crash, safety and fatigue performance in front, side and rear applications. Syensqo’s composites for motorsport impact structures—CYCOM® and MTM®—offer superior impact strength, stiffness, energy absorption and design freedom compared to conventional materials.
Suspension
Suspension systems in innovative motorsport vehicles require improved lightweighting, increased energy absorption, and reduced noise and vibration. Our composite material solutions, specifically the CYCOM®, MTM®, and HTM® product families, deliver all of these advantageous properties, making them optimal for use in various motorsport suspension applications.
Tooling
Motorsport tooling applications require significant design flexibility to ensure a fit-for-purpose solution. Syensqo’s tooling prepregs—DForm® Fabric and CYFORM® 22—offer outstanding surface finish and longevity for complex mold tools and soft tooling technology such as intensifiers and caul sheets.
Alternative Motorsports
As the world of motorsports evolves, alternative vehicles and forms of racing continue to gain traction.
Our broad portfolio of composite solutions and specialty polymers provides OEMs with a variety of materials for Formula E, hydrogen vehicles, and other new initiatives, such as flying motorsports. Our vast selection of polymers, including KetaSpire® PEEK, Torlon® PAI, Amodel® PPA, and many more, helps manufacturers bridge the gap between imagination and reality.
