SABIC debuts LNP THERMOCOMP compound to help facilitate the adoption of LDS antennas and advance device production

SABIC has introduced new LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ WF006V compound, which is well suited for laser direct structuring (LDS) of antennas that are integrated into the housings and covers of consumer electronics devices, appliances and other electronic components.SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today introduced new LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ WF006V compound, which is well suited for laser direct structuring (LDS) of antennas that are integrated into the housings and covers of consumer electronics devices, appliances and other electronic components. The new material can help facilitate the adoption of LDS antennas to replace incumbent options such as flexible printed circuit (FPC) antennas by enabling customers to create complex and miniaturized designs, accelerate production and reduce system costs. The glass-fiber-reinforced compound provides a tensile modulus more than two times higher than that of unfilled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or polycarbonate (PC) resin, and could be used for molding small, thin-wall parts. It also delivers good surface quality for attractive aesthetics, and good signal gain and LDS performance. Compared to traditional materials, the LNP THERMOCOMP WF006V compound offers better chemical resistance and hydrolytic stability, and lower warpage.

ELIX Polymers erhält Materialfreigaben von Premium-Automobilhersteller für Anti-Knarz-Materialien

ELIX Polymers erhält Materialfreigaben von Premium-Automobilhersteller für Anti-Knarz-Materialien. (Foto: ELIX Polymers, PR074)ELIX Polymers hat mehrere ABS- und PC/ABS-Spezialprodukte entwickelt, die ungewollte Quietsch- und Klappergeräusche verringern können. Diese entstehen durch den Kontakt von Kunststoffteilen mit anderen Kunststoffteilen, Leder, PVC-Folien oder anderen Produkten. Diese Störgeräusche können sich negativ auf den Fahrkomfort und Qualitätseindruck eines Autos auswirken. Vor allem mit dem Aufschwung von Elektro- und Hybridfahrzeugen, die weniger Motorgeräusche verursachen, werden Anti-Knarz-Materialien immer häufiger von der Automobilindustrie für die Herstellung kritischer Innenraumteile wie Türgriffe, Armlehnen, Sitzteile, Schiebedächer, Becherhalter und Lüftungsdüsen benötigt. Mehrere ELIX-Produkte haben die Zulassung eines deutschen Premium-Automobilherstellers erhalten und werden in zukünftigen Fahrzeugen eingesetzt.
