Syensqo Introduces Fluoro-ionomer Based on NFS Technology, Listed and sold globally
Syensqo launches Aquivion® N+ 125D - a fluoroionomer produced using Syensqo’s proprietary new NFS (Non-Fluorinated Surfactant) technology. The new grade is available globally and is intended for use in select hydrogen-related applications. N+ 125D is the first grade in Syensqo’s Aquivion® N+ series to use the company’s Non-Fluorinated Surfactant (NFS) technology.
The launch of Aquivion® N+ 125D is in line with the company’s One Planet sustainability roadmap and represents the next step in Syensqo’s ongoing efforts to voluntarily phase out fluorosurfactants from the PFAS family of chemicals. Announced in 2022, the commitment includes transitioning to Non-Fluorinated Surfactant technology across all our product lines and producing fluoropolymers that are virtually 100% fluorosurfactant-free by 2026.
"We are proud to continue transitioning our products to non-fluorinated surfactant technology. This achievement stems from our intensified research and innovation efforts in recent years, which has enabled us to deliver on our commitment to phase out the use of fluorinated surfactants. This is particularly important as we aim to strengthen the role of our essential materials in the emerging hydrogen economy and our sustainability journey," said Mike Finelli, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Syensqo.
Launched in 2021, Syensqo's Green Hydrogen Growth Platform offers material solutions across the entire value chain, from green hydrogen production to use, with the goal of driving the development of a green hydrogen economy. The platform brings together Syensqo's advanced materials and capabilities to develop innovative solutions focused on improving system durability, efficiency and total cost of ownership. Aquivion® N+ is the new brand name for the company's range of fluorinated ionomers.
The platform will continue to work with customers and key industry players to enable the energy transition as the green hydrogen economy develops.
