Other features of the LNP CRX series products include high UL 746C F1 weather resistance rating, low temperature toughness, and resistance to high temperatures, high humidity, and other challenging environmental conditions. The improved durability of materials helps to extend the service life of parts, thereby promoting the Sustainable Development Goals by reducing the demand for raw materials, energy, water and other resources.
The characteristic characteristic of all LNP CRX copolymer resins is their chemical resistance. In fact, the first level in this series provides enhanced chemical resistance for medical devices that are frequently cleaned with powerful disinfectants. More and more LNP CRX resin series are also resistant to engine oil, gasoline, Turpentine, caustic soda and brake oil used in the mobile field, as well as industrial chemicals such as brake oil and degreaser, as well as lotion, sunscreen, hand sanitizer and skin oils that affect consumer electronics.
The LNP Elcres CRX9416U copolymer resin is planned to be commercialized later this year. It is an injection molding grade material that provides UL 94 V-0 compliance at 1.5mm and thermal stability of 145 ° C (tested according to Vicat B/120 (ISO 306)). It can be customized and colored with a full color UL Solutions yellow card.
The LNP Elcres CRX7416U copolymer resin was launched in 2022 and is an injection molding grade material that can be customized for coloring. Complies with UL 94 V-0 standards at 1.0 mm and has very high flow performance (MVR of 13 g/10 min.), allowing for thin-walled designs with complex geometric shapes to reduce material usage. Compared to the other two levels, this product has lower thermal stability, tested at 131 ° C according to Vicat B/120 (ISO 306).
Sabic will showcase multiple sample components made from these materials, including injection molded shells, shells, and connectors, as well as extruded profiles and sheet products.
