SABIC DEBUTS AT NPE 2018 NEW PORTFOLIO OF PP COMPOUNDS FOR SOFT FEEL IN AUTOMOTIVE INTERIOR COMPONENTS

Published May 08, 2018

SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, unveiled here today at NPE 2018, booth S19001, a new and growing portfolio of SABIC® polypropylene (PP) compounds that deliver a soft feel combined with excellent scratch performance in unpainted, low-gloss automotive interior components. The new SABIC PP compounds offer the luxurious haptics and finishes that today’s consumers demand – even in lower-priced vehicles. At the same time, these injection molding materials can help automotive OEMs and tiers reduce costs by as much as 50 percent by avoiding secondary operations such as applying soft paint, fabric, foam or other surface coverings.
