SABIC launches new LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ compounds for automotive GNSS antennas, offering improved signal gain vs. ceramics

SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today introduced two new LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ compounds that offer the potential to improve signal gain performance vs. ceramics in second-generation automotive global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antennas.SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today introduced two new LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ compounds that offer the potential to improve signal gain performance vs. ceramics in second-generation automotive global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antennas. The new products, LNP THERMOCOMP ZKC0CXXD compound and LNP THERMOCOMP ZKC0DXXD compound, help enable the design and molding of antenna substrates with more-complex pattern markings that add effective surface area, a critical factor in enhancing signal capture. For customers that currently use ceramics, switching to the LNP THERMOCOMP compounds can help lower system costs by avoiding secondary operations, as well as improving antenna performance. Designers and engineers who find incumbent materials inadequate for developing novel, high-resolution GNSS antennas can help address new requirements with the SABIC products.

SABIC lancia nuovi compound in PP caricato con fibra di vetro corta con prestazioni ottimizzate per applicazioni strutturali nel settore automobilistico

SABIC ha presentato oggi il compound SABIC® PP G3430X e il compound SABIC PP G3440X, due nuovi compound di polipropilene (PP) rinforzati con fibra di vetro corta che presentano prestazioni e lavorazioni ottimizzate per le esigenti applicazioni automobilistiche sottocofano, esterne e interne, come le piastre di base dei componenti elettronici (a sinistra) e le console centrali (a destra).SABIC, leader mondiale dell'industria chimica, ha presentato oggi i gradi SABIC® PP compound G3430X e SABIC PP compound G3440X, due nuovi compound di polipropilene (PP) rinforzati con fibra di vetro corta che offrono prestazioni e processi di lavorazione ottimizzati per le esigenti applicazioni automobilistiche sottocofano, esterne ed interne. I due gradi avanzati superano i materiali standard a fibra corta di vetro ad alte prestazioni in termini di fluidità, resistenza alla trazione e alla flessione e modulo di flessione. I compound SABIC PP G3430X e G3440X danno ai clienti nuove opportunità per aumentare le prestazioni di componenti strutturali automobilistici come staffe, strutture di sedili e console centrali. Inoltre, grazie alla loro possibilità di realizzare pareti sottili, entrambi i materiali possono essere utilizzati per progettare componenti con massa e peso ridotti.
