SABIC has launched LNP Elcres CXL polycarbonate (PC) copolymer resins, that features chemical resistance. Primarily based on the company, these specialty provides are correctly suited to help purchasers throughout the mobility, electronics, industrial and infrastructure markets deal with elevated publicity to harsh chemical substances that will set off environmental stress cracking and premature failure. Together with providing extreme chemical resistance, LNP Elcres CXL copolymer resins can enhance half sturdiness and reliability with low-temperature impression resistance and weatherability.
SABIC’s inside testing revealed that LNP Elcres CXL copolymer resins are extraordinarily immune to numerous chemical substances found throughout the mobility, industrial, infrastructure and electronics sectors. Guide mobility and infrastructure chemical substances have been examined. They included gasoline, antifreeze, caustic soda (5% decision) and quite a few related chemical substances. For industrial functions, testing in opposition to typical chemical exposures included tar remover, brake fluid and loads of completely different substances. In cases the place prospects work along with mobility, industrial and infrastructure devices, LNP Elcres CXL copolymer resins can present improved chemical resistance to the weather current in hand lotions, sunscreens, insect repellents, cleaning choices and hand sanitizers.

The model new SABIC CXL portfolio offers quite a lot of merchandise, along with opaque and clear non-flame retardant (FR) grades, opaque, thin-wall FR grades and glass-reinforced decisions. These provides moreover ship nonbrominated/nonchlorinated FR at skinny gauges, low-temperature ductility (all the way in which all the way down to -60°C), extreme transfer for easy processing and good colorability to fulfill aesthetic requirements. They’re going to meet every ultraviolet (UV) and water immersion requirements (f1 rating) for outdoor suitability beneath UL 746 C.
To help current a path in the direction of carbon neutrality, SABIC offers ISCC Plus-certified bio-renewable variations of the model new provides, geared up beneath the LNP Elcrin CXL mannequin. They use bio-based completely different feedstocks with a lower carbon footprint as compared with typical feedstocks. These bio-based grades can cut back carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as compared with typical provides, whereas delivering the similar effectivity. These grades are new additions to the company’s Trucircle program.
