Syensqo Launches Industry-First Certified Circular Elastomers and Lubricant Fluids

15 Oct 2025 CW Team

Syensqo, a global leader in high-performance specialty polymers, has announced the launch of the industry’s first portfolio of certified circular-content elastomers and lubricant fluids, now available globally. The new materials, produced at the company’s Spinetta Marengo facility in Piedmont, Italy, feature up to 29% post-industrial recycled (PIR) hydrofluoric acid (HF) via a mass balance certification system.

This innovation supports both circularity and supply chain resilience, responding directly to growing demand from customers seeking sustainable alternatives in high-performance materials—especially in critical industries like semiconductors, automotive, and industrial manufacturing.

“Our customers are setting ambitious circularity goals, and we’re proud to be the first to help them meet those targets with a certified solution,” said Tom Wood, Senior Vice President and Head of Product & Asset Management for Syensqo’s Specialty Polymers. “This portfolio sets a new benchmark for circular innovation in fluoro-based elastomers and lubricants.”

Derived from fluorspar—a mineral classified as critical by both the U.S. Energy Act and EU Critical Raw Materials Act—Syensqo’s circular solution replaces traditional extraction and refining processes with in-plant recycling of fluor waste. This on-site recovery process not only shortens the supply chain but also minimizes exposure to geopolitical, trade, and ESG risks.
