SABIC debuts a novel bio-based LNP™ compound that can help reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel use
SABIC today launched new bio-based LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ DC0041PE-7M1D145W compound, offering customers a new sustainable option for demanding applications in electrical/electronics, healthcare and other key industries.
(firmenpresse) - SABIC today launched new bio-based LNPt product, LNP THERMOCOMP DC0041PE-7M1D145 compound, while delivering the same properties.
& NORYL Resins, SABIC.
Increasing Sustainable Content
For every 100 kg of LNP THERMOCOMP DC0041PE-7M1D145W compound, 21 kg of fossil-based materials have been replaced with bio-based materials derived from waste or residue, such as crude tall oil and hydrotreated vegetable oils, based on a mass balance approach. Moreover, this new compound was developed with over 50 percent of recycled content from post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin and pre-consumer recycled carbon fiber sources.
According to an internal life cycle analysis conducted in accordance with ISO 14040/14044 protocols, LNP THERMOCOMP DC0041PE-7M1D145W compound can offer potential reductions in carbon footprint of up to 17 percent when compared to the fossil-based incumbent material. Critically reviewed SABIC primary data combined with the latest manufacturing data and industry average estimates were used in the cradle-to-gate comparison of these compounds.
Adding to its environmental value, LNP THERMOCOMP DC0041PE-7M1D145W compound complies with the requirements of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive.
While delivering greater sustainability, the new bio-based compound does not alter the polymer properties of the incumbent material, which include high temperature resistance, excellent mechanical performance and structural properties, good processability and halogen-free flame retardance. Because it delivers the same mechanical properties as the incumbent material, it can be used as a drop-in solution, giving customers a seamless opportunity to advance their sustainability strategies.
Potential applications for this injection molding product include thin-wall parts, such as housings for consumer electronics, and components like surgical instruments that require good dimensional stability.
Currently, LNP THERMOCOMP DC0041PE-7M1D145W compound is manufactured in Asia Pacific, with plans to expand local production to other geographies, as needed.
