    Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) has launched LNP COLORCOMP WQ117945 composite, a breakthrough material using advanced nanotechnology that facilitates the efficient production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the core of sandwich structures.
    ) foam material


    .


    This new compound improves the control of nucleation and foaming, reduces cell size, makes cell size more uniform, and reduces the distribution distance between cells


    .


    Enhanced PET foam with SABIC's new LNP COLORCOMP compound meets the evolving needs of multiple industries, including marine, construction, packaging and wind energy


    .

    .


    Sunamita Anunciação, LNP Business Development Manager at SABIC, said: "Our new LNP COLORCOMP WQ117945 compound helps expand the wide range of applications for PET foams, from building insulation and cladding, to ship hulls and decks, to wind turbine blades


    .


    Currently, wind blades are becoming a global concern


    .


    Weight reduction is also a key issue in wind blade design


    .


    In terms of strength and other mechanical properties, high-density PET foam is comparable to balsa wood, while avoiding the natural degradation of wood
