KSA Business: Sabic unveils compound to cut noise in car interiors – Gulf Digital News

Sabic, a global leader in the chemical industry, has launched its LNP Lubriloy N2000 compound, a new internally lubricated material that helps prevent buzz-squeak-rattle (BSR) noise in automotive interiors.



Showcased at the Automotive Tech Week 2021, the new LNP compound is based on an amorphous blend and offers both molded-in colour capability and paintability. The proprietary, compatibilized olefinic alloy is free of silicone and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). By replacing standard PC/ABS with this innovative, drop-in material, automotive OEMs and tiers can significantly reduce friction and stick-slip behaviour between molded parts to limit or prevent unwanted noise.



“A quiet, smooth ride is a hallmark of automotive quality and luxury, but cabin sounds can be more noticeable in electric and hybrid vehicles due to the absence of source noise from their powertrains,” said Ed Williams, senior product manager, LNP Compounds, Sabic.



“Our new LNP Lubriloy N2000 compound is highly effective at limiting buzz-squeak-rattle noise and eliminates the need for secondary applications such as felts or tapes. This latest material innovation helps our customers provide a more enjoyable driving experience for consumers.”

Excellent wear and friction performance



Sabic’s proprietary lubricating technology is based on a fully compatibilized olefinic alloy. It enables the LNP Lubriloy N2000 compound to deliver a
