SABIC Innovative Plastics expanded its LNP* Faradex* Compounds to Boost EMI/RFI Shielding of Electronics
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – February 15, 2008 – SABIC Innovative Plastics today announced the expansion of its LNP* Faradex* family of specialty compounds to help electronics manufacturers achieve lighter-weight, thinner-wall housings with enhanced shielding capability. SABIC Innovative Plastics’ new LNP Faradex compounds can deliver better electromagnetic interference/radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding performance without increasing their loading of stainless steel fibers, thereby keeping costs and part weight down. Proprietary filler technology not only improves inherent shielding capability of existing loadings, but also increases modulus to enable strong and durable thin-wall parts. The addition of the new LNP Faradex compounds provides customers with an even broader range of EMI/RFI shielding performances and physical properties to help meet customer requirements.
