SABIC has put its full electric vehicle battery materials ecosystem on display at the Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart, signalling a push to support higher-performance energy storage and power electronics from cell to system level.
The global chemicals company is showcasing a broad portfolio of specialty thermoplastics designed to meet rising demands in high-voltage, high-power EV applications. Central to the presentation is its newly launched LNP THERMOCOMP OFM compounds, based on polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin, aimed at next-generation electric drive and power module systems.
“Our customers are under pressure to deliver EV systems that handle more power, run cooler and operate more reliably,” said Sergi Monros, vice president, SABIC’s Specialties BU.
“We continue to expand our specialty materials portfolio with solutions like our new high voltage LNP THERMOCOMP OFM compounds and the broad range of material solutions we’re showcasing here. From charge to discharge, we aim to help engineers improve performance, safety and manufacturability across the entire energy storage and power electronics systems,” he said.
The company is using a full-scale EV battery pack replica and individual components to demonstrate how its materials are applied in real-world designs. These include a lightweight honeycomb energy absorber made with NORYL GTX resin, a cell retainer and module frame using LNP KONDUIT compound, and electrical insulation film extruded from NORYL NHP resin.
Beyond the battery pack, SABIC is also highlighting applications across the EV powertrain, including high-voltage capacitors made with ELCRES HTV150A film, an inverter housing molded from ULTEM resin, and a high-voltage header built with LNP KONDUIT compound.
At its booth, SABIC is positioning itself as a materials partner across the entire energy chain—from charging to discharge—aiming to improve performance, reliability, usability, and safety in high-voltage systems that generate, convert, and store energy.
