Innovation Drives the Future: SABIC PPO Material Solutions Empower Automotive Industry Upgrade

I. High-Performance Non-Reinforced Material Matrix

Addressing the demands of automotive interior and exterior trim, non-reinforced grades such as BN9003G and EX130, with their excellent impact resistance and surface finish, have become preferred materials for speaker components and instrument panel fixtures. The LPN series (LPN130HG/LPN170HG), with a heat deflection temperature of 170°C and an ultra-low density of 1.07g/cm³, combined with physical vapor deposition capabilities, has been successfully applied in headlight reflectors and decorative strips. The specially developed PX series, certified by ECE instrument panel impact tests, provides safe and reliable solutions for automotive interiors.

II. Reinforced Engineering Plastic Solutions

In the structural components sector, grades utilizing glass fiber reinforcement technology, such as CN1134 (20% mineral/glass fiber) and HVN922 (10% glass fiber), demonstrate high strength and dimensional stability, making them suitable for load-bearing parts like printer housings and HVAC enclosures. The NHP series innovatively achieves 0.3mm ultra-thin wall flame-retardant molding, with NHP7020T3 pushing the limits of non-reinforced materials and NHP6046T3 (30% glass fiber reinforced) setting a new benchmark in battery module insulation layers.

III. Innovative Flame-Retardant Material Matrix

The entire product series employs halogen-free, environmentally friendly flame-retardant systems. N1150 achieves the top-tier UL94 5VA@2.5mm flame retardancy certification, while NHP8000VT3 provides CTI 600V/PLC 0 level tracking resistance at a thickness of 0.25mm, ensuring safety for high-voltage connectors and busbar insulation layers in electric vehicles. The specially developed EM7301F/EM7304F, optimized for polyurethane foam adhesion, has been mass-applied in new energy vehicle battery pack components.

IV. Key Support for Electrification Transformation

Addressing the demands of new energy powertrain systems, specialty grades like SG039916 (30% glass fiber reinforced PPE/PA alloy) exhibit exceptional hydrolysis stability, effectively meeting the harsh environmental requirements of battery enclosures. Grades such as IGN320 and NHP5054, with 20% glass fiber reinforcement, are reshaping the design standards for drive motor components with their high modulus and heat resistance.

Currently, this series of materials has been certified by multiple OEMs, including Volkswagen and BYD, with applications covering over 40 components across traditional internal combustion engine vehicles to pure electric models.
