SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, spotlighted two diverse transportation applications that demonstrate the potential benefits of Sabic^® PP-UMS (Polypropylene – Ultra Melt Strength) foam resin at last NPE2024. This distinctive material features high melt strength for outstanding foamability and enables the extrusion of PP foams with very low density, excellent impact resistance and compliance with VDA 278 emissions regulations. This foam resin’s processing versatility allows PP foams, subject to user testing, to be used in structural cores for sandwich panels in delivery vans, trucks and recreational vehicles (RVs), and to provide structural and insulative properties in blow-molded air ducts.
