Syensqo, previously part of Solvay Group and a leader in advanced performance materials, will make its debut at Fakuma 2024 with a comprehensive array of products aimed at advancing key applications across industries like automotive, consumer goods, healthcare, and construction.
At the core of Syensqo’s footprint at Fakuma will be a range of materials that challenge the limits in high-voltage battery applications and e-mobility electrical components. These include:
Amodel PPA AE-8945 HFFR, a halogen-free, flame-retardant polyphthalamide suited for high-voltage battery pyrofuses requiring a unique combination of superior fire safety, electrical insulation, and mechanical strength.
Ryton PPS R-3-410 BL LZT, a polyphenylene sulfide resin optimized for laser welding. It reportedly enhances productivity and integrity in applications such as electric actuator housings and sensors while facilitating end-of-life recycling.
Ajedium PEEK film for 800-V electric motor slot liners. The polyetheretherketone film can outperform the copper fill and heat dissipation capabilities of traditional aramid paper, help manufacturers downsize e-motor and battery designs, and eliminate the conventional cooling system, resulting in more efficient, lighter, and more sustainable electric powertrains.
Echoing sustainability
Moreover, Syensqo continues to expand its Echo portfolio of high-performance sustainable solutions engineered with bio-based, recycled, and mass-balance-certified raw materials to accelerate the transition toward a more sustainable and circular polymer industry, including:
The first ISCC Plus mass balance–certified polysulfone resins in the market. Part of Syensqo’s Udel polysulfone (PSU) and Radel polyphenyl sulfone (PPSU) offerings, the resins provide a reliable way for customers to meet demanding sustainability targets and minimize their Scope 3 emission balance.
Five new Omnix Echo grades, with an ISCC Plus mass balance–certified recycled content between 33% and 98% from post-consumer and/or post-industrial (PCR/PIR) sources, primarily targeted at household appliances and consumer goods.
Various ISCC Plus mass balance–certified Amodel PPA and Ryton PPS compounds, particularly targeted at demanding electrical and electronic applications in e-mobility.
Bio-based Kalix 2000 series with a remarkable 41% bio-based high performance polyamide (HPPA) that provides superior structural integrity, aesthetics, and reduced moisture absorption for smart device applications.
Collaborative mindset
Progress in sustainability takes collaboration with customers who share a similar mindset, according to Syensqo. Two recent examples in the sports equipment segment are partnerships with bicycle manufacturers Trek and Ultima Mobility using innovative glass-fiber-reinforced high-performance polyamide (HPPA) compounds with a high recycled content to achieve significant reductions in carbon footprints with no compromises in performance or productivity.
At the Fakuma Exhibitors’ Forum, Syensqo will further underscore its materials and market expertise. Visitors are invited to join a live presentation by Ysée Genot, e-Mobility & Sustainability Marketing Manager, and Ricardo Calumby, Construction & Sustainability Marketing Manager, on Oct. 18 at 09:40 CET in Room Berlin, where they will present “Top-Notch Circular Polymers: Experience Uncompromised Performance with Syensqo.”
