Syensqo’s bio-based resin wins Green Tech Award

Syensqo has been honored with the Green Tech Award at the RACE TECH World Motorsport Symposium for its bio-based MTM 49-3 epoxy prepreg delivering uncompromised motorsport performance.

Syensqo won the Green Tech Award at the RACE TECH World Motorsport Symposium. The awards ceremony was held at the Royal Automobile Club in London, UK.

“The new MTM 49-3 product variant incorporates bio-based content yet performs to the exacting standards of the motorsport industry, demonstrating that advanced materials can help the racing world move toward lower fossil use while keeping its competitive edge,” said Gaurav Unni, Global Sales Leader - Automotive Composites at Syensqo.

Developed with 30% bio-sourced monomers, MTM 49-3 e30 maintains the same mechanical strength, glass-transition temperature (190°C) and processability as its conventional counterpart, while offering up to 40% weight savings compared with metals.

The material has been proven on-track through a collaboration with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, where it was successfully used in the rear brake duct wheel shields on the W16 race car at the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Winning the Green Tech Award reinforces Syensqo’s commitment to enabling a circular-economy approach in composites and supporting OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in meeting their carbon-neutrality goals.
