At JEC World 2026 from March 10 to 12, Syensqo will demonstrate how its advanced composite technologies are accelerating high-rate manufacturing, enabling mission-critical performance, and advancing circularity across aerospace and automotive applications.

Syensqo will showcase its high-performance, sustainable composites at JEC World 2026.

By combining fast-curing prepregs, advanced material modeling, high rate manufacturing support, sustainable resin systems, and expanded recycling ecosystems, the company continues to offer solutions with reduced environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of mechanical performance and industrial efficiency.

From large commercial transport, space and defense applications, hydrogen-powered aircraft and eVTOL platforms to race cars and hydrogen endurance racing, Syensqo’s innovations illustrate how lightweight design, structural integrity, and sustainability can progress together.

Aerospace: High-rate manufacturing and mission-critical performance

• Bell Textron: Industrialization 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 program 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 molding, eliminating secondary bonding to deliver lightweight, high-strength performance in a single step.

• 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 ideal for early prototyping through to high volume defense 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, customers can more accurately predict manufacturing behavior, reduce prototyping, accelerate qualification, and shorten time to market.

• Ongoing advancements in localized production, high-rate aerospace manufacturing, and mission-critical materials for space and defense applications.

Automotive: Sustainable solutions with advanced 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 Formula 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 fiber prepregs, demonstrating lightweight construction and structural precision for high-performance road vehicles.

Sustainability: Bio-based carbon fiber and expanded recycling ecosystem

• Recycling network expansion in Asia-Pacific: Addition of Catack-H in Korea to strengthen regional composite recycling capabilities.

• Extended European partnership with Fairmat: Inclusion of the Östringen, Germany site to further integrate circular solutions into Syensqo’s composite manufacturing footprint.

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