SABIC showcases specialty materials, technical capabilities for application innovation at Automotive Interiors Expo
SABIC, a global chemical industry leader, is showcasing here at Automotive Interiors Expo 2019 (Booth #A118) its extensive portfolio of advanced materials, technical customer support services and other world-class resources for the development of leading-edge automotive interior applications. These include the company’s fast-growing family of LNP™ specialty compounds, high-performance NORYL™ polyphenylene ether (PPE)-based resins and ULTEM™ polyetherimide (PEI) resins; its state-of-the-art Global Application Technology (GApT) centers across the globe; and its ColorXpress custom color services and deep bench of material technology experts. SABIC is also introducing here two new, paintable, low-gloss LNP LUBRICOMP™ compounds that reduce buzz, squeak and rattle (BSR) noises in vehicle interiors.
KRAIBURG TPE is supplying thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for several functional components of the Photon, an innovative educational robot. Two established THERMOLAST® K compounds are being used for the running surfaces as well as the feelers and eyes of the interactive robot. These compounds include a highly transparent product from the FC/ht series that complies with the DIN EN 71-3 toy standard.
KRAIBURG TPE has introduced an advanced new technology platform for thermoplastic elastomer hybrids (TEHs), to close the performance gap between thermoplastic elastomers and conventional elastomer compounds. The TEH compounds are tailor-made to fit customers’ specific applications. Combined with selected elastomers, the compounds provide the same features as elastomers while maintaining the favorable workability of TPEs. The company will be presenting this innovative technology in detail during the K 2019 trade fair held in Düsseldorf (Hall 6, Booths C-58-04 and E22)
With its new MC/AD/PA THERMOLAST® M series, KRAIBURG TPE launches the first thermoplastic elastomers that not only hold certifications for healthcare applications in accordance with EU and FDA standards but can also be combined directly with polyamides.
KRAIBURG TPE has extended its portfolio of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) by additional efficient compounds. The four new THERMOLAST® K types are primarily suited for sophisticated hard-soft composite components with high requirements in relation to surface quality and permanent weather resistance.
