SABIC launches new LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ compounds for automotive GNSS antennas, offering improved signal gain vs. ceramics
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today introduced two new LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ compounds that offer the potential to improve signal gain performance vs. ceramics in second-generation automotive global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antennas. The new products, LNP THERMOCOMP ZKC0CXXD compound and LNP THERMOCOMP ZKC0DXXD compound, help enable the design and molding of antenna substrates with more-complex pattern markings that add effective surface area, a critical factor in enhancing signal capture. For customers that currently use ceramics, switching to the LNP THERMOCOMP compounds can help lower system costs by avoiding secondary operations, as well as improving antenna performance. Designers and engineers who find incumbent materials inadequate for developing novel, high-resolution GNSS antennas can help address new requirements with the SABIC products.

SABIC launches new short-glass fiber-filled PP compounds with enhanced performance for automotive structural applications
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today introduced SABIC® PP compound G3430X and SABIC PP compound G3440X grades, two new short-glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) compounds offering enhanced performance and processing for demanding automotive under-hood, exterior and interior applications. The two advanced grades surpass high-performing standard short-glass fiber materials in melt flow, tensile and flexural strength, and flexural modulus. SABIC PP compound G3430X and G3440X grades give customers new opportunities to raise the performance bar for automotive structural components such as brackets, seat structures and center consoles. Furthermore, thanks to their thin-wall capability, both materials can be used to design parts with lower mass and weight.
