Extend the effective lifespan of PET bottles and contribute to the reduction of plastic waste.
SABIC is launching high-value PBT resin suitable for applications that require enhanced properties and durability by chemically upcycling PET (mainly disposable water bottles) discarded by consumers, thereby stimulating further demand for recycled resin. This product also contributes to reducing the environmental footprint from raw material acquisition at the factory to product shipment, as measured by cumulative energy demand (CED) and global warming potential (GWP), compared to virgin PBT resin. LNP ELCRIN iQ resin reuses up to 67 used PET bottles (500ml) per kg. 【Features】 - Superior properties and durability compared to PET resin 【Applications】 - Excellent fluidity, chemical resistance, colorability, and flame retardancy that contribute to high production efficiency, used in electronics, electrical equipment, home appliances, and automobiles.

basic information
SABIC's LNP ELCRIN iQ compounds and blend products are based on iQ PBT resin that has been upcycled using SABIC's proprietary technology. This upcycling technology overcomes the limitations of mechanical recycling by using a chemical process that depolymerizes PET bottles and other PET waste into precursor chemicals, and then purifies them to produce new PBT resin. Additionally, this upcycling technology provides excellent performance characteristics such as high production efficiency, outstanding flowability, chemical resistance, colorability, and flame retardancy. LNP ELCRIN iQ resin can directly replace virgin PBT and other conventional PBT resins, allowing customers to switch from their currently used PBT resin to LNP ELCRIN iQ resin, thereby making their products more environmentally friendly and sustainable. Furthermore, LNP ELCRIN iQ resin has been shown in a life cycle assessment study to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint during material production by up to 61% and 49%, respectively, by not using virgin raw materials that were previously used in PBT manufacturing.

Applications/Examples of results
LNP ELCRIN iQ is expected to be in demand for home appliances, automotive connectors, and the exteriors of medical devices, where high durability and excellent appearance are required. By being adopted for these applications, it contributes to extending the usage period of PET resin, which has previously been disposable, and prolongs the time before the material is discarded.
