SABIC Innovative Plastics’ New Ultra-Pure Stat-Loy* Compounds Provide Huge “Clean” Plastics Solution to Semicon Industry
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – May 29, 2008 – As consumers demand more power and functionality from electronics, the semiconductor industry strives to fit more functionality onto existing integrated circuits, or “chips.” The next-generation of chip manufacture is a photolithography process using argon-fluoride (ArF) laser technology. However, adoption of ArF lasers was delayed by the lack of sufficiently “clean” plastics used in protective containers (photomasks and reticles) for the IC manufacturing process. To address this challenge and respond to customer needs, SABIC Innovative Plastics’ LNP* Specialty Compounds business has developed Ultra-Pure Transparent (UPT) Stat-Loy* 63000CT series compounds. Used in wafer protection devices, UPT Stat-Loy compounds can prevent damage from outgassing that can contaminate wafers, increase rejects, and raise costs.

SABIC Innovative Plastics Wins 2007 National ENERGY GLOBE Award for Brine Recovery Project at Bergen op Zoom Facility
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – May 27, 2008 – SABIC Innovative Plastics was named the national ENERGY GLOBE Award overall winner for The Netherlands in recognition of its Brine Recovery project in Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands. Yesterday, at the EU Parliament in Brussels, the company was honored for its efforts in achieving significant environmental benefits made possible by an innovative brine recovery process, which purifies and re-uses salt in polycarbonate (PC) production. This sustainable process reduces sodium chloride use, waste water generation, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The project was subsidized by the EU Commission’s Life environment program with a grant of 1.2 million euros. Investment in eco-responsible solutions enables SABIC Innovative Plastics to provide customers with state-of-the-art products while minimizing the impact of manufacturing processes on the environment.
