SABIC INTRODUCES NEW THERMOCOMP™ HMD-D SERIES OF HIGH MODULUS DUCTILE COMPOUNDS TO THE AMERICAS, EUROPE AT NPE 2018
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, is introducing its next-generation THERMOCOMP™ HMD-D compounds to the Americas and Europe here at NPE 2018. Initially launched in Asia, these materials, on display at the company’s booth (S19001), expand SABIC’s THERMOCOMP™ portfolio of specialty compounds with high-performance, glass-reinforced polycarbonate (PC) materials. The new series of six grades delivers a unique combination of high modulus and ductility to enable lighter, thinner and stronger parts that advance design innovation and ease of use. They are engineered for challenging structural components in the consumer electronics, healthcare and transportation sectors.
(firmenpresse) - SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, is introducing its next-generation THERMOCOMP of six grades delivers a unique combination of high modulus and ductility to enable lighter, thinner and stronger parts that advance design innovation and ease of use. They are engineered for challenging structural components in the consumer electronics, healthcare and transportation sectors.
Balancing Ductility and Stiffness
To achieve lighter weight and thinner geometries in structural applications, THERMOCOMPmple, the creation of thin-wall devices that may withstand stringent drop testing without cracking.
The new compounds use special glass fibers that minimize warpage. Grades with different glass fiber loadings (10 percent through 50 percent) are available to meet various modulus requirements.
THERMOCOMP materials, are not affected by heat and moisture aging. Together with good color-matching capability and color stability, these characteristics help manufacturers appeal to fashion-conscious consumers of electronic devices and to patients who use home medical devices. All grades feature halogen-free flame retardancy to support sustainability efforts.
Optimizing Production
The new THERMOCOMPese compounds have excellent thermal stability that allows them to be processed at a relatively high temperature.
