Ionomr — Ionomr is pioneering and commercializing the world's most advanced ion-exchange materials. These provide an enabling platform for clean tech solutions after more than five decades of stagnation in available materials. Using our deep knowledge of scalable electrochemical systems, we enable more efficient systems that will lead to thedecarbonization of the planet for future generations. To date, electrochemical applications in the clean tech realm use materials that contain toxic fluorinated chemicals (PFCs). PFCs leach into water sources and bioaccumulate for hundreds of years, having a dire impact on human health and the entire ecosystem. We are driven to replace these materials with our environmentally friendly hydrocarbon alternatives that reduce pollution at the source, and are proven to be more durable and efficient than incumbent materials. Ionomr's membranes and polymers are highly processable, which allow for simple integration into electrochemical systems. We enable optimal performance in applications for chemical & water remediation, energy storage and hydrogen.
