New Ultem* Composites, Foam and Fiber from SABIC Innovative Plastics
Redefine Extreme Performance for Major Customer Growth Opportunities
CHICAGO – June 22, 2009 – SABIC Innovative Plastics has leap-frogged its Ultem* resin technology to advanced new levels of extreme performance with today’s launch of new leading-edge Ultem composite, fiber and foam technologies at NPE 2009. These new products have been specifically engineered to give customers a previously unavailable competitive edge: advanced new materials technology solutions that create virtually unlimited growth opportunities in existing, new and emerging markets. The new materials build on the company’s hugely successful Ultem polyetherimide (PEI) resin, an industry-renowned workhorse thermoplastic that has given customers years of reliable, extreme performance for the most demanding and high-heat resistant applications. SABIC Innovative Plastics is exhibiting the new Ultem materials here in booth W123011.
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – November 24, 2008 – SABIC Innovative Plastics today introduced Lexan* ULG1003 112OQ sheet, a new, solid polycarbonate (PC) sheet that offers superior optical quality (OQ) for a range of automotive and transportation applications, including laminated and formed glazing for aircraft canopies, motorcycle windscreens and vehicle windows. This new high-performance material provides even greater optical quality than previously available materials and clearly underscores SABIC Innovative Plastics’ commitment to customers with an ever-broadening sheet product portfolio; the highest standards of quality; and unmatched global innovation.
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – October 30, 2008 – In an effort to improve the air travel experience for customers, designers are looking for new ways to enhance comfort and ambiance in aircraft cabins. Boltaron Performance Products, LLC has collaborated with SABIC Innovative Plastics to create new aesthetic choices for Lexan* XHR6000 sheet, under the brand Boltaron 9915 FSTH¹ sheet. Because the sheet products are constructed using SABIC Innovative Plastics’ high-performance material, they are ideal for aircraft interior components that must comply with flame, smoke and toxicity (FST) requirements and the Ohio State University (OSU) 65/65 standard. Decorative effects and textures – such as metallic, wood-grain, pearlescent and carbon-look surfaces that are offered by Boltaron – complement the cost-effective, standard colors and textures of Lexan XHR6000 sheet available from SABIC Innovative Plastics. 
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – October 9, 2008 – In the quest to reduce fuel costs, airlines are scrutinizing every component of a plane for potential weight reduction. Now, with today’s launch of Ultem* foam from SABIC Innovative Plastics, aircraft designers can leverage the best-in-class flame, smoke, toxicity (FST) performance of Ultem polyetherimide resin in a new product that is 10 - 20 times lighter than traditional plastic components. Ultem foam is an ideal core material for composite structures such as luggage bins, galleys and lower wall panels (also known as dado panels). The development of Ultem foam demonstrates the company’s global leadership in engineering thermoplastics, strong market insight and long history of breakthrough ideas.
