SABIC applies the company’s experience in collision and chassis solutions to the design of structural hybrid solutions. It uses both plastic and metal materials to create a lightweight reinforcement to improve its actual collision resistance. . If the company’s current product design is adopted, compared with pure metal reinforcements, it can achieve a weight reduction of 40-60% and an energy absorption capacity increase of 10%.

　　LEXAN resin

　　SABIC is also developing polycarbonate (PC) and polypropylene (PP) grade product solutions, and the application prospects of this product portfolio are very good.

　　LEXAN resin can achieve weight reduction and energy saving, as well as increase driving mileage. In a research report, SABIC and its industry partners determined the use and insulation of LEXAN resin. Compared with the traditional glass products used in all polished surfaces, this resin product may significantly reduce the demand for vehicle heating and air conditioning systems. , Extend the cruising range of the vehicle by 15 kilometers. In this study, SABIC adopted computational fluid dynamics (computational fluid dynamics, CFD) analysis method to verify the accuracy of the mileage extended range data.

　　High heat and high energy density dielectric film for lightweight capacitors (Dielectric Film)

　　SABIC also provides a high-heat, high-energy density dielectric material—ULTEMUTF120 polyetherimide (PEI) film with a thickness of 5-10 microns, which can be used to produce lightweight auxiliary capacitors. This lightweight The equipment can offset the weight of the battery pack of electric vehicles.

　　Radar Absorbing materials and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials for automotive sensors

　　The company also recently developed a new STAT-KON compound, which aims to solve the material needs of automotive sensor technology. The mechanical strength, processing ability, conductivity, and radar absorption of this type of composite material achieve a good performance balance, which can prevent the equipment from causing electronic interference to neighboring electronic devices.

　　In addition, SABIC has also expanded the FARADEX product line to cater to the related needs of automotive electronic devices, improve electromagnetic interference shielding performance, and prevent equipment failure or failure.

　　A new generation of NORYL resin products with higher flame retardancy

　　Today, SABIC has developed a new generation of NORYL resin with flame retardant properties, which uses glass fillers to increase the strength of the resin. This material enables the UL94V-0 level (flammability rating, UL94V-0rating) of structural parts such as battery cover components to reach 0.75 mm.

　　In addition to flame retardancy, NORYL can achieve substantial weight reduction, chemical resistance to electrolytes has also been verified, heat resistance up to 120°C, low warpage, low moisture absorption, and dimensional stability And the mechanical strength is also good, which can ensure the consistent performance and quality of its products. If NORYL resin is used, car companies do not need to use fluorine-containing and brominated halogen-free materials (FRmaterials), which improves environmental protection.
