BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands, November 20, 2012 - SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business is applauding General Motors Co. (GM) for being named the winner in the Performance & Customization (Aftermarket) category of the Society of Plastics Engineers’ (SPE®) 42nd-annual Automotive Innovation Awards Competition. GM’s winning application is the carbon composite air extractor located on the hood of the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 sports car. This unique carbon fiber prepreg composite part pulls air through the lower grille and out through the hood, cooling the engine, increasing efficiency and reducing lift in the process. The part includes a water deflector molded from SABIC’s VALOX™ resin, which delivered the high mechanical and thermal performance needed in this demanding under-hood environment. The successful use of VALOX resin in this application not only allowed GM to bring the carbon fiber prepreg design to life, but also provides further evidence of SABIC’s proven track record and ongoing commitment to enable meaningful, high-end automotive solutions for its customers and the industry.
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands, November 20, 2012 - Ambient lighting is a growing trend in automotive interior design, enhancing consumer appeal. So when Chrysler Group LLC designed the 2013 Dodge Dart compact for young, style-conscious car buyers, the automaker turned to SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business to help create stylish interior lighting at an affordable cost. In collaboration with Chrysler Group and Mitchell Plastics, SABIC contributed advanced materials and design and development expertise for the unique eye-catching ambient lighting design that surrounds the innovative floating island bezel, which houses the instrument cluster and Uconnect mediacenter. The floating island bezel is the centerpiece of the all-new Dodge Dart interior. SABIC’s high-performance CYCOLOY™ and GELOY™ resins with molded-in color enabled Chrysler to achieve the Dart’s next-generation interior, which epitomizes the latest in vehicle design innovation. This successful project with Chrysler demonstrates the design-enabling power of SABIC’s automotive resins and the company’s ability to collaborate and support its customers throughout the development process – from concept feasibility to production. 
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands, November 15, 2012 - SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business today announced that Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has chosen SABIC’s next-generation NORYL GTX™ 989 resin for the front fenders of its 2013 Outlander Sport crossover. The vehicle’s fenders are the first to be produced using 2-cavity injection molding with NORYL GTX resin, allowing MMC to cut cycle times in half and reduce tooling costs. Other major benefits of the SABIC material include weight savings vs. steel for fuel economy gains and sustainability benefits and flexibility to design the first North American fenders with integrated pedestrian head impact absorption brackets. MMC’s adoption of NORYL GTX 989 resin to mass produce the fenders demonstrates the increasing value of NORYL™ and NORYL GTX resin technology to the automotive industry and its importance to customers as a solution to address diverse manufacturing and sustainability needs.
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands, October 31, 2012 - SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business today commended Ford Motor Company and PSA Peugeot Citroën Group for innovative use of the supplier’s thermoplastic materials in two separate applications, which were recently named finalists in the Automotive Division of the Society of Plastics Engineers’ (SPE®’s) 42nd-annual Automotive Innovation Awards Competition. The first of these is the Ford Focus Electric’s high-voltage battery pack molded from SABIC’s NORYL™ GFN resin, which helps give the new electric vehicle extended driving range, greater battery capacity and lighter weight than traditional materials. The second application is the rear quarter window glazing for the Citroën DS5 hatchback. Molded from LEXAN™ GLX polycarbonate (PC) resin, the glazing enables an ambitious three-dimensional design and a 20 percent weight savings vs. glass. NORYL GFN and LEXAN GLX resins are two examples of SABIC’s continued commitment to help automotive customers cut vehicle weight for improved fuel economy, drive advancements in EV technology and have greater freedom to create world-class designs.
