SABIC to feature at PCIM Asia first commercial application of ELCRES™ HTV150A film in capacitors
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, will highlight at PCIM Asia 2024 (in Hall 11, Booth H03) the first commercial application of its high-heat ELCRES™ HTV150A dielectric film. Japan’s Nichicon Corporation used this ultra-thin specialty film to develop high-temperature, high-voltage, commercial-quality capacitors for AC-DC traction inverter modules in electric vehicles. This technological breakthrough addresses industry demand for advanced film capacitors that can enable more-efficient AC-DC power modules.
Syensqo, a leading global provider of Advanced Performance Materials and Chemical Solutions, has announced the introduction of five new high performance ECHO grades as part of the company’s growing Omnix® ECHO portfolio of circular polymers. With a mass-balanced (MB) allocated recycled content between 33% and 98% from post-consumer and/or post-industrial (PCR/PIR) sources, including fibers, the new sustainable products offer a considerably reduced product carbon footprint potential. These products maintain the same mechanical performance and superior flowability as PA6 and PA66 all-virgin base materials.
Syensqo, previously part of Solvay group, will present its advanced solutions for clean mobility at The Battery Show Europe 2024 in Stuttgart, Germany, taking place from June 18-20.
