A pioneer in the production and processing of water-soluble polymers, SNF has developed a portfolio of more than 1,000 products that help preserve natural resources, encourage recycling, and improve industrial efficiency. Our polymers provide additional functions such as flocculation (allowing solids to separate from liquids), increasing viscosity, and reducing friction.

Our products are used across all sectors, including drinking water production, wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, oil and gas extraction, mining, agriculture, papermaking, textiles, and cosmetic formulations.
