SABIC shares insights on material solutions

Saudi basic industries (SABIC) has Shared its insights on material solutions to support the development of electric cars, connected and autonomous vehicles, foreign media reported.

Lightweight battery enhancements

SABIC applies the company's experience in collision and chassis solutions to the design of structuralhybridsolution, which USES two materials, plastic and metal, in order to make a lightweight strengthening part and improve its actual anti-collision performance. When using the company's current product design, compared with pure metal version intensifiers, it can achieve 40-60% weight loss and 10% energyabsorption.

LEXAN resin

SABIC is also working ona product scheme of polycarbonate (PC) and polypropylene (PP) grade, and the product mix has a very promising prospect.

LEXAN resins help you lose weight, save energy, and improve your driving mileage. In a study, SABIC and industry partners measured the use and insulation of LEXAN resin, which could significantly reduce the need for heating and air conditioning systems and extend the range of a car by 15 kilometers, compared to conventional glass used for all finishes. In this study, SABIC (computationalfluiddynamics, CFD) using the computational fluid dynamics analysis, aims to verify life mileage increases the accuracy of the process data.

Dielectric films with high heat and energy density for lightweight capacitors

SABIC also provides a high-heat, high-energy density dielectric material, the ULTEMUTF120 polyetherimide (PEI) membrane, which is 5-10 microns thick and can be used to produce lightweight auxiliary capacitors that can offset the weight of an electric vehicle battery pack.

The on-board sensors are provided with RadarAbsorbing materials and EMI shielding materials

The company also recently developed a new STAT-KON composite designed to address material requirements for on-board sensor technology. The mechanical strength, processing capacity, electrical conductivity andspecial absorption of this kind of composite material achieve a good performance balance, which can prevent the device from causing electronic interference to the adjacent electronic devices.

In addition, SABIC has expanded its FARADEX product line to meet the needs of on-board electronics to improve emi shielding and prevent equipment failure or failure.

High flame retardant performance of the new generation of NORYL resin products

Now SABIC has developed a new generation of flame retardant NORYL resin that USES glass fillers to increase the strength of the resin. This material makes the ul94v-0 (flammability grade, ul94v-0rating) of battery housing components and other structural parts reach 0.75mm.

Sharply in addition to the flame retardancy, NORYL can achieve weight loss have been verified, and chemical resistance of the electrolyte, heat resistant up to 120 ℃, low thermal curve (warpage), low hygroscopicity (moistureabsorption), shape stability (dimensionalstability) and the mechanical strength is also doing well, to ensure the product quality performance is consistent. If NORYL resin is adopted, vehicle manufacturers will not have to use halogen-free materials containing fluorine and bromide to enhance environmental protection.
