Specialized SABIC® PP-UMS foam resin can help reduce vehicle emissions and increase recyclability
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, is spotlighting two diverse transportation applications that demonstrate the potential benefits of SABIC® PP-UMS (Polypropylene – Ultra Melt Strength) foam resin at NPE2024 (Booth #S19005). This distinctive material features high melt strength for outstanding foamability and enables the extrusion of PP foams with very low density, excellent impact resistance and compliance with VDA 278 emissions regulations. SABIC PP-UMS foam resin’s processing versatility allows PP foams, subject to user testing, to be used in structural cores for sandwich panels in delivery vans, trucks and recreational vehicles (RVs), and to provide structural and insulative properties in blow-molded air ducts. Examples of these applications, on display at the SABIC booth, illustrate the suitability of this foam resin for broad use in transportation components that can benefit from significant weight reduction and potential cost optimization.

BSH selects an ABS material with certified sustainable raw materials by ELIX Polymers for kitchen appliance components
BSH Home Appliances has selected a sustainable, chemically-recycled ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin by ELIX Polymers for the stand, arm and various components of the latest Stand Mixer by BOSCH. ELIX Polymers has developed a specialised, tailor-made ABS P3H-AT CR25 in several colours with a 25% content of certified raw materials (bio-circular styrene). The carbon footprint of this material can therefore be reduced by 21% compared to the traditional raw material.

SABIC testing shows high potential of phase-change thermoplastics in preventing thermal runaway in EV batteries
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, is reporting here at NPE2024 test results that underline the high potential of thermoplastic-based thermal runaway barrier solutions to help prevent fire spread in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The SABIC sub-system level test series showed that a battery module box made from the company’s STAMAX™ 30YH570 long glass fiber polypropylene (PP) resin with intercellular thickness as low as 1mm has a potential to act as an effective thermal barrier solution by preventing thermal runaway propagation in 18650 cylindrical cells. It provides the necessary thermal insulation and flame resistance to reduce the chances of cell-to-cell propagation in a thermal runaway scenario and thus mitigate the risks of a catastrophic safety incident. This material in combination with compressible foams also has shown promising results to contain thermal runaway propagation in prismatic and pouch cells.
