Connecting the steps of first making the honeycomb core with in-line bonding of skins to make lightweight and stiff sandwich panels has enabled EconCore to license its ThermHex process to companies around the world operating in various market sectors. The key is the technology’s versatility of materials, combined with a high-speed, continuous, cost-efficient production process. EconCore’s ThermHex process allows users to provide performance-to-weight-optimized materials with a honeycomb structure to higher-volume applications than previously possible. Instead of being limited to low-volume and less cost-sensitive domains, EconCore brings honeycomb structure to mass markets.

SABIC expands portfolio of ULTEM™ UTF120 film for high-temperature dielectric capacitors with new 7- and 10-micron gauges

SABIC’s new 7µm and 10µm (micron) ULTEM™ UTF120 polyetherimide (PEI) dielectric film grades further expand the company’s portfolio. They enable the design of lightweight, compact, high energy density capacitors that can store large amounts of electrical energy for long periods without significant current leakage or loss of charge at high temperatures. This technology offers important advantages for capacitor applications, such as high dielectric constant and insulation resistance and low dielectric loss.SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, is introducing at PCIM (Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion) Asia 2018, in booth #A07, two new gauges of ULTEM™ UTF120 polyetherimide (PEI) dielectric film for high-temperature, professional-grade capacitor applications. These new additions of 7µm and 10µm (micron) thicknesses to SABIC’s industry-leading portfolio of ULTEM™ UTF120 film respond to customers’ requirements for film that can meet the voltage requirements of different capacitors and open the door for new design options. PCIM Asia is held in Shanghai, China from 26 - 28 June 2018.
