LNP™ Solutions for the Circular Economy

Sustainable Design

  • Improved Recyclability
    • Non-halogenated flame retardants
    • Part simplicity via e.g. functionality integration, design simplification and eliminating layers (e.g. laser marking, mold-in-color)
    • Better recyclability versus thermoset
  • Process Efficiency
    • Elimination of secondary operations (paint, coating, labelling, etc.)
    • Potential reduction of reject material
    • Lower energy needs, cycle times and reject
    • Potential reduction in fuel consumption via light weighting
  • Durability
    • Enabling part sterilization
    • Potential improvement of wear and friction performance
    • Good thermal conductivity for lightweight alternative to metal
    • Improved lifetime of parts in aggressive environments (chemicals, temperature, moisture and sunlight)

Note: The life cycle assessment study was completed by SABIC in 2020 and underwent third-party critical review as per ISO 14040/14044 standards.

ELCRIN™ iQ product provides a drop-in circular solution to virgin PBT and other conventional alloy materials with similar properties. Compared to other recycled technologies, ELCRIN™ iQ portfolio can offer consistent quality, colorable space and regional food contact regulation compliance.

LNP™ ELCRIN™ iQ Resin For Circular Solutions

SABIC’s LNP ELCRIN iQ resin is a proprietary technology which uses chemical de-polymerization to process single used recycled PET plastics into a polymer - polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). ELCRIN iQ PBT resin contains up to 60% recycled weight content and offers a drop-in ie a solution for conventional PBT and other alloy materials with similar applications in industries such as electronics & electrical, consumer, healthcare and automotive.
