SNF specializes in water chemistry. Our markets are driven by the increasing scarcity of natural resources such as water, oil, gas, and minerals. Most of our product applications either treat and recycle water, or minimizes water consumption. In addition, we help our customers reduce their energy consumption and therefore their carbon footprint. As a global leader in manufacturing water-soluble polymers, SNF has developed a range of more than 1,000 products that help to preserve natural resources, encourage recycling, and improve industrial process efficiencies. SNF polymers have several complementary functionalities: flocculation, coagulation, rheology modification, and friction reduction.
Our products are sold to all markets where water is used:
SNF is a significant player in the water treatment market and all related applications. Numerous actions carried out over the last several years in the field of Sustainable Development, particularly regarding environmental, social, and economic issues (i.e., energy balance, carbon footprint, sustainable development, social balance) reflect who we are as a company and are evident in our activities.
SNF specializes in water chemistry and helps treat, preserve, and recycle the world’s water. We are instrumental in addressing the growing scarcity of key natural resources essential for many new technologies. In Oil & Gas, SNF helps customers reduce their energy needs and carbon footprint.
We treat the water of more than 800 million people around the world and help thousands of industrial sites recycle their water. In mineral extraction, SNF provides solutions to help our clients grow while minimizing the environmental impact of their activities. In oil extraction, our products increase the amount of oil recovered from existing reservoirs and significantly decrease water consumption and carbon emissions per barrel produced.
SNF has the advantage and privilege of being positioned in markets that are at the heart of sustainable development issues and the forefront in combatting climate change.
To consolidate its position as a leader, SNF constantly expands its range of products and technologies through continuous investments in R&D.
