SABIC SHOWCASES DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION IN THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING AT JEC WORLD 2018
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, is featuring here at JEC World 2018, several new breakthrough innovations in materials and manufacturing designed to drive broader adoption of strong, lightweight thermoplastic composites across the automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics and energy industries. Specifically, the company is displaying in stand L84, Hall 5, its growing portfolio of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite (CFRTC) tapes; releasing the results of an externally certified life cycle analysis of a passenger car side door using this material; and previewing a revolutionary, fully automated, large-scale production system for composite laminates that optimizes quality, speed, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, SABIC will be exhibiting at JEC’s Innovation Planet a new application concept for the aircraft industry with a thermoplastic composite seatback featuring a hollow channel design.

At its stand, SABIC is launching a new UDMAXns using this material, including an automotive bulkhead and an industrial pressure vessel.
SABIC is also giving a number of presentations. At the JEC Conference on Automotive and Transportation: Materials and Processes, Dave Brands, SABIC senior application engineering specialist, and Geert-Jan Doggen, SABIC senior business manager, will speak on Tuesday, March 8, from 10:25 to 10:50 a.m. on d Thursday, March 7 and 8, at 10 a.m.
ends on three enablers: new material technologies, efficient large-scale production processes and an accurate, scientific prediction of application performance. SABIC is investing heavily in all three areas.
Our growing portfolio of CFRTC offerings, our partnership with Airborne and Siemens on a digital composites large-scale production solution, and our expanding predictive engineering capabilities are three excellent examples of how we are doing this and underscore our unyielding commitment to our customers
NEW UDMAX
SABIC
SABICe in different slitted sizes in rolls of up to 4,000 running meters.
Benefits to Several Industries
A superior replacement to traditional materials, CFRTC tapes can offer important benefits to many different industries. In automotive, UDMAX
For light commercial vehicles, UDMAX
Weight saving is of paramount importance to the aircraft industry. In order to demonstrate the potential of advanced CFRTCs, SABIC developed a seat back constructed from CFRTC of carbon fiber and ULTEM.
The energy sector can also benefit from CFRTCs. Used to reinforce oil, gas and water pipes, UDMAX weight.
As consumer electronics devices become increasingly lighter and thinner, device covers made with thermoplastic composites can contribute to weight-out and design flexibility more effectively than aluminum and other materials.
The use of a carbon-fiber reinforced polycarbonate composite laminate in a smart tablet cover on display at the SABIC stand, is an example of SABIC
Driving Efficiency and Predictability
Electronic device covers will be one of the initial focus areas for SABIC
To support its efforts in materials and manufacturing innovation, SABIC has expanded its predictive engineering capabilities at its Center of Excellence in Geleen, The Netherlands. The goal is to establish high confidence in the predicted performance of SABIC
