SABIC LAUNCHES TWO PP-BASED, INTUMESCENT FR MATERIALS WELL SUITED FOR EXTRUDING AND THERMOFORMING LARGE, COMPLEX EV BATTERY PACK COMPONENTS

Unveiling the Future of Advanced Materials: SABIC Introduces SABIC® PP Compound H1090 Resin and STAMAX™ 30YH611 Resin.

Pioneering the chemical industry, SABIC launches two revolutionary materials tailored for sheet extrusion and thermoforming, redefining conventional approaches like sheet metal forming and injection molding. Empower your designs with these 30 percent glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene-based (PP) materials, offering a game-changing alternative for electric vehicle (EV) battery components.

With exceptional thermal barrier properties, these materials delay thermal runaway propagation, ensuring safety and efficiency. The extrusion and thermoforming processes provide unmatched design freedom, system cost efficiency, and inherent thermal and electrical insulation advantages. Guided by BLUEHERO™, SABIC leads the charge in reliable, safe, and efficient EV solutions.

Abdullah Al-Otaibi, General Manager of ETP & Market Solutions at SABIC, highlights how these materials foster innovation in battery components and reinforce SABIC's polymer technology leadership in vehicle electrification. Rigorously tested and validated, SABIC PP Compound H1090 Resin and STAMAX 30YH611 Resin offer excellence in EV applications, reshaping materials in prototyping and production decisions. Unite fire safety with performance in these materials, which boast stiffness, impact resistance, and low thermal expansion. PP's insulating properties, low density, and global availability further enhance these innovations. Explore the future of materials with SABIC and embark on a transformative journey in design and sustainability.
