SABIC pioneers with new LNP™ ELCRIN™ iQ compounds using pre-consumer recycled glass fiber to accelerate carbon neutrality
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, launched today new LNP™ ELCRIN™ WF006XXPiQ compound and LNP ELCRIN WF0061XPiQ compound, the first two grades in a new portfolio of materials that incorporate pre-consumer recycled glass fiber diverted from the waste stream of industrial processes. These polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) compounds, each reinforced with 30 percent pre-consumer recycled short glass fiber, offer mechanical properties and color equivalency of ELCRIN iQ grades that use virgin glass fiber reinforcement. This new technology further decreases the carbon footprint of ELCRIN iQ materials, which already support the circular economy and help reduce plastic waste by using upcycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) from discarded water bottles.

Une nouvelle étude de SABIC sur les custodes arrière met en évidence les avantages d’intégration, de style et d’aérodynamisme de la résine LEXAN™
SABIC, une des premières entreprises mondiales du secteur de la chimie, a annoncé ce jour les résultats d’une récente étude portant sur les avantages distinctifs que pouvaient apporter les résines de polycarbonate (PC) LEXAN™ pour la conception des custodes arrière en termes de style, de réduction du nombre de composants, d’intégration de fonctions et d’amélioration de l’aérodynamisme des véhicules. L’étude a mis en lumière de nombreuses possibilités d’augmenter notablement la latitude de conception, de maîtriser les coûts et de réduire les poids en remplaçant le verre traditionnellement utilisé par des résines LEXAN transparentes et résistantes à l’impact. Menée par des stylistes et des ingénieurs SABIC, cette étude s’est appuyée sur les décennies d’expérience approfondie de la société dans le domaine des technologies de vitrage des automobiles. Outre les custodes arrière, l’équipe SABIC a déjà conçu des modèles de fenêtres arrière et peut s’appuyer sur les données ainsi obtenues pour établir la faisabilité de ces designs de custode et utiliser des méthodes de mise en œuvre et des opérations secondaires qui ont déjà fait leurs preuves.

SABIC introduces new NORYL™ resins featuring robust flame retardancy and impact resistance for EV battery modules
To support broader adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), SABIC is launching two new grades of NORYL™ resin that support demand for lighter, thinner and more crash-resistant battery modules and housings. These new innovative materials – NORYL NHP6011 and NHP6012 resins – address key consumer requirements for EVs: improved safety, range and power. They deliver enhanced robust flame retardancy and impact strength to meet stringent industry-related safety standards, as well as thin-wall molding capability to reduce weight and accommodate more cells, helping to extend vehicle range and boost performance. These novel glass fiber-reinforced NORYL resins feature proprietary polyphenylene ether (PPE)-copolymer technology and are the latest additions to SABIC’s growing NHP family of materials for mobility applications.
