Empowering sustainable, high-performance sealing solutions for the semiconductor industry
Syensqo, a global leader in advanced materials and specialty chemicals, announces that its innovative Tecnoflon® FFKM NFS portfolio has been selected by Innores, a premier Korean sealing solutions provider, for use in semiconductor manufacturing processes.
This milestone marks the first commercial adoption of Tecnoflon® FFKM NFS, Syensqo’s proprietary perfluoroelastomers renowned for their exceptional chemical and plasma resistance as well as outstanding thermal stability, while manufactured without the use of fluorosurfactants from the PFAS family of chemicals. Innores is integrating these advanced materials into sealing products such as O-rings, bonded seals, gate valves, chamber lids, and vacuum pump components, serving some of the world’s largest semiconductor companies.
This partnership is more than a commercial achievement, it is a reflection of Syensqo’s values and our commitment to making a positive impact through science and collaboration. Working closely with partners like Innores allows us to expand our reach in the global semiconductor market, supplying advanced materials to some of the industry’s most influential players. It also strengthens our reputation as a trusted partner for customers seeking both performance and sustainability in their supply chains.
What makes this collaboration even more meaningful is our shared commitment to sustainability and responsible manufacturing. Innores’ ongoing efforts to improve energy efficiency, minimize waste, and expand emissions tracking are closely aligned with Syensqo’s mission to drive scientific breakthroughs that advance humanity. Together, we are making tangible progress in supporting a greener, more responsible semiconductor industry.
The collaboration between Syensqo and Innores is founded on a mutual vision for responsible manufacturing and environmental stewardship. Innores continues to drive improvements in energy efficiency, waste minimization, and emissions tracking, values closely aligned with Syensqo’s mission to advance humanity through scientific innovation.

Moving away from Fluorosurfactants
At Syensqo, we are proud to produce a vast majority of our fluoropolymers – materials that are essential for electric vehicle batteries, hybrid engines, hydrogen applications, renewable energy installations, semiconductor manufacturing, medical devices, and more – without the use of fluorosurfactants. Guided by our sustainability roadmap, we quadrupled our investment in R&I since 2019 to invent a new polymerization process using our non-fluorosurfactant technologies.
