CIRCUIT SOLUTIONSAs electronics continue to evolve, consumer electronics manufacturers are challenged to make devices thinner, smaller, and lighter without compromising on features or functionalities. SABIC’s portfolio of THERMOCOMP™ compounds have been engineered to meet specific performance requirements for circuit integration. This suite of specialty compounded materials has been optimized for transmission conditions, providing different combinations of Dk(dielectric constant) and Df (dielectric dissipation factor) performance. The portfolio also contains compounds that can be treated using laser direct structuring. All Circuit Solutions effects grades

CONDUCTIVE MATERIALSConductive thermoplastic compounds can offer reliability and value for applications that require dissipation of static charges, protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD), or thermal management. SABIC’s portfolio of specialty compounded solutions can provide the right degree of conductivity required for your application. We offer specialty compounds with a full range of electrically active materials, including materials which contain electrically conductive additives that provide surface resistivity from antistatic, through conductive, to electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. All Conductive effects grades

STRUCTURAL MATERIALSStructurally engineered thermoplastics are an excellent solution for applications where low warpage, high modulus, and impact resistance are important. SABIC’s specialty compounded solutions are available for nearly any base resin and can offer enhanced stiffness, heat resistance and dimensional accuracy for super structural, metal replacement, NMT (nano molding), and recyclable applications. We also offer compounds that perform in demanding high heat and chemical environments, or that impart EMI shielding capabilities. All Structural effects grades

WEAR AND FRICTIONLubricated compounds improve wear resistance and lower friction by combining engineering resins with various internal lubricants or patented alloy technology. Glass and carbon fibers can also be included for improved strength and stiffness. SABIC’s portfolio of specialty compounded solutions can significantly reduce friction and wear rates of plastic parts moving over other surfaces, whether contact is plastic-on-metal or plastic-on-plastic. They can also help extend product life, reduce or eliminate squeaks, eliminate the need for lubrication, and reduce maintenance costs. All Wear and Friction effects grades
