Syensqo to showcase high-performance sustainable composites

At JEC World 2026, Syensqo aims to demonstrate how its advanced composite technologies are accelerating high-rate manufacturing, enabling mission-critical performance and advancing circularity across aerospace and automotive applications.

Syensqo offers fast-curing prepregs, advanced material modelling, high rate manufacturing support, sustainable resin systems and expanded recycling ecosystems, products that support the company’s One Planet commitments.

However, Syensqo plans to demonstrate that sustainability can progress along with lightweight deisgn, mechanical performance and industrial efficiency, in various application sectors, from large commercial transport, space and defence applications, hydrogen-powered aircraft and eVTOL platforms to race cars and hydrogen endurance racing.

“By combining advanced material science, high-rate manufacturing technologies and circular innovation we are able to support our customers in meeting performance expectations while accelerating the transition toward more sustainable mobility,“ said Rodrigo Elizondo, President of Syensqo Composite Materials. “We look forward to engaging with our wide range of customers, partners and suppliers at JEC World 2026”.

Syensqo will exhibit at booth K58 in Hall 5. The company will also give live presentations at the Agora 5 stage about the following projects:

Aerospace: enabling high-rate manufacturing and mission-critical performance

Bell Textron: Industrialisation of composite part manufacturing using Syensqo’s patented DDF process combined with CYCOM® EP 2750 fast-cure aerospace prepreg; a Bell component will be displayed at the show.

Climate Impulse project: as its main technology partner, Syensqo is supporting this hydrogen-powered aircraft programme aiming to complete the first non-stop, nine-day flight around the world, highlighting lightweighting and energy efficiency enabled by its advanced materials.

Vertical Aerospace eVTOL rotor blade: Innovative rotor blade manufactured using MTM® 45-1 materials and one-shot compression moulding, eliminating secondary bonding to deliver lightweight, high-strength performance in a single step.

Ongoing advancements in localised production, high-rate aerospace manufacturing and mission-critical materials for space and defence applications.

Launch of CYCOM® EP 1700: new ≤10 min takt time, DDF compatible press cure product with >80°C service temperature capability, compatibility with automated deposition technologies, including pick and place and low temperature VBO robustness. This product is suitable for a variety of applications, from early prototyping to high-volume defence and aerospace applications.

AniForm: Syensqo’s composite material datasets are now integrated into AniForm’s software, enabling advanced forming simulation of thermoset and thermoplastic materials. Compatible with Syensqo’s DDF process, it enables customers to more accurately predict manufacturing behavior, reduce prototyping, accelerate qualification and shorten time to market.

Automotive: advancing sustainable composites performance

Expansion of the ReGen portfolio of sustainable composite materials, with two new grades: MTM® 58 ReGen and SolvaLite® 714 ReGen. These grades reduce dependency on fossil-based feedstocks while maintaining identical mechanical performance and processing efficiency.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas ormula One Team: The team recently announced the use of MTM® 49-3 ReGen resin on the rear wheel shield of the W16 race car at the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, with the component subsequently racing over 7,000km following its debut in Baku. Syensqo won a Green Tech Award for this innovation. A similar component is set to be showcased at JEC World 2026.

MissionH24: Hydrogen-powered endurance racing program, for the creation of a dedicated category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans by 2028, using Syensqo materials, including MTM® 49-3 ReGen, for lightweight performance and crash protection.

McLaren 750S active rear airbrake: Manufactured using MTM® 58B and MTM® 57VQ carbon fibre prepregs, demonstrating lightweight construction and structural precision for high-performance road vehicles.

Sustainability: expanding recycling ecosystem partners with Fairmat and Catack-H and demonstrating bio-based carbon fibre

Extended European partnership with Fairmat: Inclusion of the Östringen, Germany site to further integrate circular solutions into Syensqo’s composite manufacturing footprint. Fairmat will exhibit Hall 5, booth M39.

Recycling network expansion in Asia-Pacific: Addition of Catack-H in Korea to strengthen regional composite recycling capabilities. Catack-H will exhibit Hall 6, booth T57.

Bio-based carbon fibre milestone with Trillium: Syensqo successfully completed the evaluation of bio-based acrylonitrile (bio AN) as a feedstock for carbon fibre, achieving a key milestone by producing aerospace-grade carbon fibre from a blend of Trillium’s bio AN and commercial AN at its Piedmont, SC research centre.
