- Air ducts
SOLUTIONS
- SABIC® LDPE
- SABIC® EPS
SABIC foam materials are in demand in automotive because of weight and cost reduction, strength and stiffness, and noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance.
Polymeric foams are inherently lightweight—enabling the industry to design low-emission, fuel-efficient vehicles. These material solutions offer excellent energy absorption, damping and acoustic insulation, allowing passengers to experience a relaxed and comfortable ride.
These sought-after foam materials are used in diverse automotive applications from bumpers, air ducts, and instrument panels to headliners, door panels, and gaskets.
