SABIC debuts higher PCR content LNP™ ELCRIN™ copolymer resin with enhanced performance

SABIC’s new upgraded LNP™ ELCRIN™ copolymer resins can reduce carbon footprint while delivering desirable performance properties and aesthetics. They may be candidates for applications such as housings of consumer electronic devices and chargers, enclosures for 5G base station infrastructure and industrial components such as circuit breakers. In automotive, they have the potential to be used for exterior grilles, pillars and trim.SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today launched a new portfolio of 10 LNP™ ELCRIN™ copolymer resins that can reduce carbon footprint while delivering desirable performance properties and aesthetics. Adopting these polycarbonate (PC)-based copolymer materials, which contain up to 75 percent certified post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, can help customers advance their sustainability initiatives without sacrificing key attributes. Compared to competitive impact-modified PC resins containing PCR content, which can have performance limitations, the new LNP copolymer resins deliver high performance across the board. Depending on the grade, they may provide low-temperature ductility, chemical and weathering resistance, good flow for easy processing, transparency, a broad color space, UV stability and thin-wall flame retardance (FR) meeting the UL94 V-0 rating at 0.6mm.
