PITTSFIELD, Mass. — August 23, 2011 — Xenoy iQ* resin from SABIC’s Innovative Plastics strategic business unit – chosen by Ford for the pedestrian safety system of its 2011 C-MAX multipurpose vehicle (MPV) – has helped the automaker earn a five-star rating from the independent safety organization Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program). The C-MAX’s pedestrian safety system features a novel lower leg protector/undertray design using SABIC’s Xenoy iQ resin. The inherent physical properties of Xenoy iQ resin make it a highly suitable material for the Ford C-MAX’s pedestrian safety system. The resin’s superior ductility and great impact resistance, when combined with the part design, provide the energy absorption needed for enhanced lower leg impact protection. The resin is also a great fit with Ford’s commitment to sustainability as it offers thermoplastic properties with an extremely low carbon footprint. Overall, use of Xenoy iQ resin in this case demonstrate how SABIC enables both environmental responsibility and exceptional performance. View more and related images
