About us

FluoRok is a chemical manufacturing company developing a fundamentally different and better way to produce essential fluorochemicals.

Born from breakthrough chemistry at the University of Oxford, we are taking our patented technology from scientific discovery to industrial manufacturing.

Redefine the chemistry. Change the manufacturing model.

Our team

Excellence as a driving principle, safety as core value.

Science. Engineering. Manufacturing. Commercial excellence.

Light-speed execution.

Building a new chemical manufacturing platform requires expertise across the entire journey from molecule to market.

FluoRok brings together decades of combined expertise with a team of leading scientists, engineers, manufacturing specialists, financial and commercial leaders focused on turning ground-breaking innovation into a global industrial business.

Leadership

Our ambition

Our ambition was simple:
to create a safer, sustainable and competitive foundation for fluorochemical manufacturing.

This required a bold innovation: redefining the chemistry at the heart of production. FluoRok offers an elegant breakthrough in technology that can finally eclipse the 250-year-old HF route.

Solutions need to be

01

Highly scalable

02

Economically viable

03

More sustainable

04

Uncompromising on performance

Incremental improvements to established models don’t move the needle in chemical manufacturing.

Highly scalable

Incremental improvements to established models don’t move the needle in chemical manufacturing.

Economically viable

Better chemistry stays in the lab unless it makes economic sense at scale.

More sustainable

Customers and regulators judge production on emissions and waste, not only its price.

Performance matching leading commercial benchmark

A better route only matters if the molecule performs exactly as the commercial benchmark.

Our journey

From scientific excellence to global commercial scale.

FluoRok was founded around a fundamental breakthrough in fluorination chemistry.

What began as scientific discovery is turning into an industrial manufacturing platform.

Today, our focus is on translating that platform into reliable, repeatable industrial production across our first commercial applications.

Backed to scale

FluoRok is supported by investors, public funding bodies and strategic partners who share our ambition to transform fluorochemical manufacturing.
