LNP™ Compounds - Drawing from more than 20 base resins and countless high-performance additives, customers can dial in their own formula to meet the demands of virtually any application. By combining advanced materials and technologies with industry- leading know-how, LNP compounds can give designers the freedom they need to innovate and lead the industry to new levels of safety, comfort and performance.
LNP compounds offer material of choice solutions for weight reduction, parts consolidation, elimination of secondary operations and improved performance, durability and esthetics. Closely tuned engineering attributes can be formulated to meet specific demands, from strength and stiffness to weight, flow properties, chemical and heat resistance, dimensional stability, shielding, static control, lubricity or even to deliver antimicrobial effects.
For example, THERMOCOMP™ compounds can enhance nearly any base resin for mechanical properties in even the most demanding heat and chemical environments, and offer a sound solution for metal replacement in tray table arms and structural supports.
When increased resistance to chemicals is required, ULTEM™ CRS resins may offer the benefit of increased performance versus our standard ULTEM resins, while meeting flame, smoke and OEM toxicity requirements. Today, these materials are often used in connectors located in hidden spaces.

Seating has long been a focal point for passenger comfort and safety and for cabin esthetics. At the same time, seating components offer a premiere opportunity to reduce weight without compromising strength, stability and durability. SABIC’s focus is here, too, with materials and design recommendations to help manufacturers translate designs utilizing metals, to updated designs using thermoplastics.
Carbon filler ULTEM Resin - When it comes to replacing airline grade die-cast aluminum in semi-structural supports, SABIC’s carbon-filled ULTEM™ resin materials can provide a step up. Their excellent stiffness and flow characteristics allow for thin-walled molded parts that can reduce weight up to 20% while significantly increasing strength. THERMOCOMP™ EC00X series compounds can change the way you think about arm and foot rests, tray table arms, and support structures– nearly any application where lightweight, solid support is required.

- ᵍ Measurements made from Laboratory test Coupon. Actual shrinkage may vary outside of range due to differences in processing conditions, equipment, part geometry and tool design. It is recommended that mold shrinkage studies be performed with surrogate or legacy tooling prior to cutting tools for new molded article.
- ⁷ Injection Molding parameters are only mentioned as general guidelines. These may not apply or may need adjustment in specific situations such as low shot sizes, large part molding, thin wall molding and gas-assist molding.
