China SABIC Thermocomp LC003E Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

With the popularity of electric vehicles around the world, the technical requirements for key components are also increasing.

As a global leader in the chemical industry, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation has launched its new LNP™ ELCRES™ CXL polycarbonate (PC) copolymer resins, which possess outstanding chemical resistance. These special materials are highly suitable for helping customers in the mobility, electronics, industry and infrastructure markets deal with environmental stress cracking and premature failure that may be caused by increased exposure to corrosive chemicals. Besides having higher chemical resistance than existing materials, the LNP ELCRES CXL copolymer resins can also enhance the durability and reliability of components with excellent low-temperature impact resistance and weatherability.

First plastic gas tank for commercial vehicles made of BASF's high-performance Ultramid® polyamide, which weighs up to 20 percent less than an aluminum alternative

This article systematically expounds on the development process of China's special engineering plastics industry from the germination stage to the maturity stage, analyzes the current industry situation at the critical stage of transition, covering influencing factors such as policies, technologies, and the market. It also introduces the upstream, midstream, and downstream situations of the industry chain, including the supply of raw materials, production, and the demand in application fields. At the same time, it explores the opportunities and challenges of green development that the industry is facing.

Basic Concept of CLTE The Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (CLTE) is used to characterize the degree of expansion of a material as temperature rises and to assess its risk of cracking under thermal stress. Understanding the relative expansion/contraction properties between different materials in contact is crucial for successful applications.

In the wave of the low-altitude economy, engineering plastics have become an indispensable "unsung hero" for drones and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, thanks to their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. From reinforced nylon used in robust fuselages and landing gears, to polycarbonate forming transparent and impact-resistant canopy covers; from the stable performance of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in high-temperature motor components, to the exceptional strength that carbon fiber composites provide for rotors and primary structures—engineering plastics play a critical role in reducing weight, extending range, structural design, and safety protection. They quietly support the performance breakthroughs and commercial adoption of low-altitude aircraft, serving as a vital foundation for the ascent of this new economic paradigm.
