Solutions for Enhanced Adhesive Applications 

Syensqo's broad materials and chemicals portfolio meets today’s expectations for products that are both high-performing and more sustainable. Our products address perennial adhesion challenges, enabling product differentiation, separating an average adhesive from a superior adhesive. Formulators rely on our products to improve key requirements, like the need for better substrate wetting, emulsion polymerization, water-resistance and defoaming.

 

 

Emulsion Polymerization

Syensqo's specialty monomers and surfactants improve the emulsion polymerization process, and our specialty polymers optimize adhesives’ mechanical stability. Discover more.
