Transportation Glazing
Bus, rail and recreational or heavy vehicle manufacturers have to meet the constant challenges of increased safety and security, durability, sustainability and system cost reduction. SABIC serves global OEMs and their suppliers with a broad portfolio of engineered resin. They offer a total solution approach to rapidly expanding needs for proven high performance materials.
SABIC can also help you achieve greater energy efficiency. Our solutions can reduce weight up to 50 percent, while enabling improved aerodynamic designs and reducing the load on HVAC by maximizing thermal insulation. Combined with our polycarbonate’s five-fold lower thermal conductivity relative to glass, emissions can potentially be cut by as much as 3 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer.
