As of July 4, 2020, European Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/784 amended Annexes of Regulation (EU) 2019/1021, establishing limits on the amounts of PFOA, its salts, and PFOA-related substances that may be present in materials. Suppliers are required to demonstrate that materials containing PTFE are below the recommended PFOA threshold (<25 ppb). SABIC is working with suppliers to address this new requirement applicable to PTFE lubricating materials, while also offering a range of alloy-based lubricating products, LNP LUBRILOY compounds, which provide excellent wear and friction resistance comparable to PTFE, and are available as lubricant grades without restrictions like those found in silicone, graphite, and molybdenum disulfide. This solution may serve as an attractive alternative for designers looking to eliminate the use of PTFE.

Suppressing "hot spots," which refer to the vulnerable areas of molded parts, is extremely important. In complex shapes, improper cooling can easily lead to the formation of weak points, and in water treatment components, such weak points can cause fatigue, deformation, and rupture. How can such hot spots be resolved? Before deciding on the molding design and starting production, it is crucial to understand how the selected materials will perform. SABIC's experts in water treatment processes can simulate and predict hot spots based on years of experience in deploying thermoplastic resins in this field.

When connecting medical devices to a network, data transmission can be affected by radio wave interference, which may also pose potential risks to patient safety. For this reason, protecting medical devices from electromagnetic interference (EMI) allows healthcare specialists to make medical judgments without being affected by data shielding. Metals have long been used in medical device housings, but this trend towards miniaturization adds weight and volume. In a recent article published in On Drug Delivery, we introduce a new medical-grade LNP FARADEX NS003XXW compound. This item not only has electromagnetic shielding properties but also has obtained biocompatibility certification. It achieves free moldability and significant weight reduction, while also minimizing waste compared to shielding through coatings.

The EXTEM XH series developed by SABIC has been increasingly used in optical communication transceiver lenses and optical sensor receiving lenses, which are gaining attention in recent years for applications such as 5G. For the same applications, the company's ULTEM RESIN products (such as ULTEM 1010 and ULTEM DT1810EV) have been widely adopted by many customers and components around the world, but they were not compatible with lead-free soldering processes. This material, which is compatible with that process, is attracting attention for its ability to accommodate complex lens shapes and its high productivity compared to glass and thermosetting resin lenses. Additionally, it has gained recognition as a high-heat-resistant optical thermoplastic resin that was first registered in the Zemax OpticsStudio material database in March 2019, providing designers of optical sensors and lenses with a new groundbreaking material option beyond glass and epoxy resins. [Application Examples] Adopted for infrared sensor lenses used in proximity sensors and gesture recognition in electronic products such as smartphones and gaming consoles.

The quality required for automotive interiors includes not only the appearance of the interior but also the "feel" and "quietness." LUBRICOMP and LUBRILOY compounds contribute to the high-quality interior demands sought by drivers and passengers. 【Countermeasures for Unwanted Noise (BSR)】 The panels and trim parts that make up the interior structure of a vehicle are prone to noise generation when two parts come into contact. BSR is one of the main quality issues faced by today's automakers. One traditional method to address this is to add tape-based felt spacers to separate materials, but the complexity of the assembly process and increased costs are challenges associated with this approach. 【Internal Lubricating Resin Compounds】 By adding internal lubricants to thermoplastic materials, the coefficient of friction between two plastic parts is reduced, allowing them to slide against each other, which helps to reduce vibrations that cause noise. While traditional lubricants such as silicone and PTFE are effective, LNP's new alloying technology can also enhance damping properties.
