SNF

SNF is a French group specialized in water chemistry and recognized as the global leader in water-soluble polymers. Its activities address the growing scarcity of natural resources by developing solutions that treat, recycle, and optimize water use across a wide range of industries. SNF’s products also help reduce energy consumption and the carbon footprint of industrial processes. With more than 1,000 product references, SNF operates in drinking water production, wastewater treatment, enhanced oil recovery, mineral processing, papermaking, agriculture, textiles, and cosmetics. Present in more than 40 countries and operating 18 production sites, the group employs over 8,500 people and serves customers in 130 countries.

SNF specializes in water-soluble polymer production, customized formulation, monomer and coagulant chemistry, and technical support to optimize customer processes.

SNF develops a comprehensive range of water-soluble polymers in the form of powders, emulsions, liquids, dispersants, and beads, available in anionic, cationic, and non-ionic versions and in multiple molecular structures (linear, branched, cross-linked, comb, star). This expertise enables SNF to tailor products to the specific needs of each application: flocculation, coagulation, friction reduction, rheology modification, and improved industrial process efficiency. Beyond polyacrylamides, SNF also designs coagulants, dispersants, mining reagents, and monomers, as well as equipment that facilitates polymer use. These solutions support water treatment, process performance, and the preservation of natural resources.
