Syensqo showcases high-performance sustainable composites at JEC World 2026

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

By combining fast-curing prepregs, advanced material modeling, high-rate manufacturing support, sustainable resin systems, and expanded recycling ecosystems, the company continues to help customers reduce environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of mechanical performance and industrial efficiency. These innovations reflect Syensqo’s One Planet commitments, where sustainability is a core driver of long-term value creation.

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.

“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. “

Some Syensqo presentations at JEC World 2026:

Aerospace: enabling 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, we are 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 our 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.
• Ongoing advancements in localized production, high-rate aerospace manufacturing, and mission-critical materials for space and defense 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 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.

Sustainability: expanding the recycling ecosystem and demonstrating bio-based carbon fiber

• 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.
