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 recibe la aprobación para sus materiales antichirridos por parte de uno de los principales fabricantes de equipos originales de automoción

ELIX Polymers recibe la aprobación para sus materiales antichirridos por parte de uno de los principales fabricantes de equipos originales de automoción. (Foto: ELIX Polymers, PR074)ELIX Polymers ha desarrollado una gama de grados de ABS y PC/ABS especiales para reducir los ruidos indeseados que se generan por el contacto de piezas de plástico con otras piezas de plástico, cuero, láminas de PVC u otros productos. Estos ruidos pueden influir negativamente en el confort del conductor y en la percepción de la calidad de un automóvil. Debido especialmente al auge de la popularidad de los vehículos eléctricos e híbridos, cuyos motores hacen menos ruido, los fabricantes de equipos originales (OEM) de automoción requieren con más frecuencia materiales antichirridos para fabricar piezas interiores esenciales como tiradores de puertas, reposabrazos, asientos, techos solares, portavasos y rejillas de ventilación. Varios productos ELIX han recibido la aprobación de un OEM alemán de automoción de alta gama y se utilizarán en futuros automóviles.
