Syensqo (Brussels, Belgium) has significantly increased its U.S. production capacity for advanced polymers used in critical health, water, and energy applications. By expanding production of its Udel polysulfones (PSU) sulfone polymers at its Marietta, Ohio facility by more than 25%, Syensqo is ready to meet growing demand for innovative materials in critical life science markets.
This production boost supports essential applications that impact everyday lives. Syensqo’s sulfone polymers are used in life-saving and life-supporting applications that enhance medical care, such as in systems for hemodialysis and medical instruments; play a critical role in water purification; and contribute to green hydrogen production systems that help reduce environmental impact and improve energy efficiency.
Syensqo’s advanced polymers are designed to perform under demanding conditions. They offer high strength and rigidity, flexible sterilization options, and high resistance to cracking, even at elevated temperatures. These characteristics make them indispensable in applications like water filtration membranes and medical devices that require precision and reliability. With global approvals for use in drinking water and food contact products, these materials are trusted for their safety and durability.
The production increase at the Marietta site complements a recent expansion at Syensqo’s Augusta, Georgia facility, where key components used in these high-performance materials are produced. By strengthening its manufacturing presence in the U.S., Syensqo is bolstering its ability to meet rising demand from critical markets, ensuring reliable access to essential materials that support healthier lives, cleaner water, and a more sustainable future.
