SABIC Helps Meccano de Mexico Break New Ground with First Concrete Forms Featuring Lightweight, High-performance LNP* Verton* Composite
MEXICO CITY, October 4, 2011 – At Plastimagen Mexico 2011, SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business unit announced an industry first: new one-piece, reusable concrete forms made from the company’s high-performance LNP* Verton* long glass fiber-reinforced composite. The new corrosion-resistant composite forms were developed by SABIC and Meccano de Mexico, a top Mexican construction supply company, to replace heavy traditional multi-piece steel forms, reducing weight by up to 40 percent, cutting cycle times from three hours to only a few minutes and helping to reduce overall construction costs for more-affordable housing. Today’s announcement is a building & construction industry milestone for both Meccano and SABIC that showcases SABIC’s commitment to working side-by-side with customers to help them achieve business success.
