SABIC’s new sustainable LNP™ compound will add to 400 million diverted water bottles and deliver thin-wall, non-Br/Cl flame retardance to 0.4 mm for electrical industry

SABIC’s LNP™ ELCRIN™ WF0051iQ compound, featuring thin-wall, non-brominated/non-chlorinated flame retardance (FR), is the newest addition to the company’s growing family of sustainable iQ resins and it is well suited for electrical applications. The new grade is developed through the chemical upcycling of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) water bottles into polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin.SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today launched LNP™ ELCRIN™ WF0051iQ compound featuring thin-wall, non-brominated/non-chlorinated flame retardance (FR). It is the newest addition to the company’s growing family of sustainable iQ resins and it is well suited for electrical applications. The new grade will increase SABIC’s already significant diversion of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) water bottles, which are chemically upcycled into polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin. At the end of 2022, the company had already diverted 400 million 0.5-liter bottles through its iQ upcycling technology.

SABIC to present at PCIM Europe new data on low internal dissipation losses in ELCRES™ HTV150A dielectric films for high-temperature capacitors

Compared to other high-heat materials like polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), SABIC’s ELCRES™ HTV150A films can reduce dissipation losses by as much as 40 percent when exposed to temperatures reaching 150°C and frequencies up to 100kHz. Lower dissipation losses in capacitors made with ELCRES HTV150A dielectric films can reduce internal heat generation, increase operating efficiency and stabilize hot spot temperatures, giving engineers greater design flexibility.SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, will reveal at PCIM Europe 2023, in Hall 7, Booth 146, new data showing significantly reduced internal dissipation losses in its high-heat
