Diab selects SABIC’s new LNP™ COLORCOMP™ compound to enhance foams for the core of wind turbine blades
Diab Group, a world leader in sandwich composite solutions, chose SABIC’s new LNP™ COLORCOMP™ compound using nano technology to reduce weight and improve mechanical properties of sandwich structures with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foams, which are used as the core material of wind turbine blades. The Swedish converter selected the breakthrough SABIC compound over standard nucleators for production of its Divinycell PY PET foam core series. By reducing the foam’s cell size by a factor of up to two, while maintaining the same density and decreasing the cell size dispersity, LNP COLORCOMP compound helps enable the final part to be lighter and more efficient in use. These improvements to the core foam material can help designers create new, longer blades that address increasingly stringent standards for precision, weight and consistent quality, and contribute to greater overall energy generation.

L'accresciuta complessità dell'illuminazione automobilistica a LED crea una domanda di tecnopolimeri nuovi e facili da stampare
La tendenza verso lo sviluppo di progetti di illuminazione automobilistica complessi ed intricati, basati su diodi luminosi (LEDs) ha creato una domanda di tecnopolimeri dotati di eccezionale scorrimento e facile sformatura dallo stampo. Alcuni elementi progettuali come l’integrazione di componenti e di funzioni, oppure parti dell’illuminazione anteriore o posteriore più larghi, ampi e sottili, come pure caratteristiche estetiche critiche richiedono materiali in grado di ottenere pareti sottili, uno stile aggressivo con angoli di sformo acuti, insieme ad un’estetica impeccabile. La gamma di policarbonato (PC) LEXAN™ di SABIC, ad altissima fluidità per le cornici dei gruppi ottici permette al settore di creare geometrie complesse ed integrare più componenti, in modi fino ad oggi incompatibili con la semplicità di fabbricazione.

SABIC’s new, breakthrough LNP™ COLORCOMP™ compound uses nanotechnology to enable differentiated foams
SABIC today introduced LNP™ COLORCOMP™ WQ117945 compound, a breakthrough material based on advanced nanotechnology that facilitates efficient production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foams for core materials in sandwich structures. This new compound improves control over nucleation and cell growth, resulting in decreased cell size and uniform, narrower cell size distribution. These attributes can reduce the foam’s weight by minimizing resin uptake in sandwich structures. It can also potentially improve shear strength/strain properties for better fatigue performance. Enhancing PET foams with SABIC’s new LNP COLORCOMP compound can address the evolving needs of multiple industries, including marine, building and construction, packaging and wind energy.
