SABIC to present on chemically resistant LNP™ ELCRES™ copolymers at NPE2024
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, will give a presentation at NPE2024 about its growing portfolio of chemically resistant, specialty LNP™ ELCRES™ copolymers well suited for a range of demanding applications. Yuanqing (Emily) He, Ph.D., senior business manager for LNP copolymers at SABIC Specialties, will speak on May 6 at 3:00 p.m. on the Innovation Stage in the West Hall (Booth #W2380). She will describe how improved resistance to harsh chemicals provided by LNP copolymers can help prevent or mitigate environmental stress cracking that may lead to premature failure. Application case studies from the healthcare, mobility and consumer electronics industries will illustrate the exceptional performance of these materials. Dr. He will also highlight a path to offer ISCC+ certified renewable resins, which can help reduce an application’s carbon footprint, while providing the same properties.

Archroma brings planet conscious solutions to Techtextil 2024
Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals focused on sustainable solutions, is bringing its latest planet conscious innovations to Techtextil 2024 to help technical textile manufacturers achieve cutting-edge functionality with solutions that deliver optimized productivity, enhanced sustainability and value creation.
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, has successfully demonstrated the feasibility of recycling used medical plastic back into the medical materials stream. The project was initiated together with the dialysis department at Jessa Hospital, one of the largest non-university medical cluster in the Limburg region of Flanders, Belgium. Serving as a pilot proof-of-concept, used medical plastic generated at Jessa’s hospitals was converted to pyrolysis oil in an advanced recycling process, delivering circular feedstock for SABIC’s production of TRUCIRCLE™ polymers in medical grade quality with same performance, purity and physiological safety as virgin-based medical grade polymers. This is indispensable for medical approvals by regulators.
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today announced here at MD&M West 2024 (Booth #3287) a significant expansion of its LNP™ LUBRILOY™ portfolio of internally lubricated specialty compounds. The new LNP LUBRILOY products can meet customer demands for high-performance alternatives to materials lubricated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). These new grades extend SABIC’s LUBRILOY technology to additional base resins and feature a novel, patented lubrication technology enabling OEMs to help avoid health and regulatory issues associated with materials containing intentionally added PFAS.
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, will highlight at MD&M West 2024 in Booth #3287 its versatile and durable ULTEM™ HU resins, which can help medical device manufacturers choose alternatives to ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization. Demand is growing for materials compatible with other sterilization methods in anticipation of a new ruling by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that may reduce EtO emissions from commercial sterilization facilities. ULTEM HU resins are stable across many popular sterilization processes, providing the potential for multiple use options. These resins can also withstand multiple sterilization cycles. Their excellent retention of strength and color can help reduce breakage and discoloration, thereby potentially extending the useful life of applications made with these materials.
Colorcon, a world leader in the development and supply of film coating systems, speciality excipients and functional packaging for the healthcare industries, will be exhibiting its newly expanded portfolio the upcoming Pharmapack Europe tradeshow in Paris.
