The company highlighted the newly launched LNP THERMOCOMP OFM compounds, which are well suited for high-power, high-voltage electric drive and power module applications. These compounds, based on polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin, broaden the scope of the company’s offering for the industry and address increasingly rigorous voltage and power demands.
“Our customers are under pressure to deliver EV systems that handle more power, run cooler and operate more reliably,” said Sergi Monros, Vice President, SABIC’s Specialties BU. “We continue to expand our specialty materials portfolio with solutions like our new high voltage LNP THERMOCOMP OFM compounds and the broad range of material solutions we’re showcasing here. From charge to discharge, we aim to help engineers improve performance, safety and manufacturability across the entire energy storage and power electronics systems,” he said.
Illustrating its extensive product scope, SABIC displayed a full-size replica of an electric vehicle (EV) battery pack, as well as individual battery components. These include a lightweight honeycomb energy absorber using NORYL GTX resin, a cell retainer and module frame made with LNP KONDUIT compound, and electrical insulation film extruded from NORYL NHP resin.
Beyond EV battery components, SABIC materials on display encompassed high-voltage capacitors made with ELCRES HTV150A film, an EV inverter housing molded from ULTEM resin and a high-voltage header featuring LNP KONDUIT compound.
At SABIC’s booth, attendees explored how these and other specialty materials enhance the performance, reliability, usability and safety of systems that generate power, convert high voltage current and store energy.
