Core Viewpoint - SABIC has launched a new product in its LNP™ THERMOTUF™ series, which is the first industry material based on Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) using Nano Molding Technology (NMT), offering excellent flame retardant and mechanical properties [1][2]. Group 1: Product Features - The new material meets the growing demand for lightweight and durable metal-plastic composite parts in the consumer electronics industry, such as smartphone frames [2]. - LNP™ THERMOTUF™ WF0087N composite material has won the 2025 Edison Award [2]. - NMT allows for the injection of plastic resin into chemically treated metal surfaces, creating tightly bonded composites, which enhances lightweight design, RF signal penetration, aesthetics, and simplifies processing [3]. Group 2: Performance and Standards - The material retains good bonding strength and mechanical properties, with a new thin-wall flame retardant performance (UL94 V0@1.0mm), and its metal bonding strength is approximately 60% higher than conventional flame-retardant PBT resins, aiding in meeting stringent IP68 waterproof and dustproof standards [4]. - It also features excellent corrosion resistance to anodizing, supports customized coloring for aesthetic design, and ensures dielectric performance for multi-antenna devices [5]. Group 3: Application Scenarios - The primary application scenarios include antennas, frequency dividers, and various structural components in smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and laptops [5].
