Unleashing the Power of LNP™ Verton™ Compounds

At Guzman Polymers, we are proud to offer our clients cutting-edge materials that deliver exceptional performance and reliability. One such material is SABIC’s LNP™ Verton™ compound, a remarkable structural compound based on Nylon 66 resin, containing 60% long glass fiber. This innovative material is designed to meet the most demanding structural applications, providing a perfect balance between cost and performance.

Product Description

LNP™ Verton™ compounds are lightweight yet incredibly strong, making them ideal for a wide range of structural applications. These compounds are engineered to provide outstanding mechanical performance, combining rigidity with exceptional strength and resistance to impact failure. The result is a material that not only meets but exceeds the demands of various industries, including automotive, building components, commercial appliances, and more.

 

Key Benefits

  • Glass-Filled for Strength: Verton™ compounds are highly filled composites, containing 25-70% long glass fiber by weight. This high fiber content is achieved through a patented pultrusion process that ensures fiber integrity and alignment, resulting in exceptional mechanical performance. This makes Verton™ an excellent choice for applications requiring high strength and rigidity.

 

  • Custom-Tunable Properties: The versatility of LNP™ Verton™ extends to its customizable properties. For example, Verton™ MFX-700-14 is a 70% long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compound designed for machine-side dilution. This flexibility allows manufacturers to tailor the glass loading levels, performance properties, and processing characteristics to meet specific application requirements.

 

  • Good Surface Quality: The superior surface quality of Verton™ composites makes them suitable for industries where aesthetics are just as important as performance. Automotive exteriors, sports equipment, furniture, and business equipment all benefit from the smooth finish that Verton™ provides.

 

  • Broad Range of Resins: Verton™ is available in a wide range of base resins. The most commonly specified resins include polyamide (PA), such as internally lubricated PA66, and polypropylene (PP). This variety allows for further customization based on the specific needs of the application.

 

  • Flame Retardancy: Safety is a top priority in many industries, and LNP™ Verton™ can be compounded to include flame retardant (FR) properties. This makes it an ideal material for applications where fire safety is crucial, such as in electrical and home appliances.

 

Applications

LNP™ Verton™ compounds are versatile and have been successfully used in various industries, including:

  • Automotive Exteriors: High-strength materials for durable and aesthetically pleasing automotive components.

 

  • Building Components: Robust and reliable materials for construction and architectural applications.

 

  • Commercial Appliances: Strong, impact-resistant materials for commercial-grade appliances.

 

  • Electrical: Flame retardant and mechanically superior materials for electrical applications.

 

  • Home Appliances: Durable, safe, and visually appealing materials for home appliances.

 

  • Industrial General: High-performance materials for a broad range of industrial applications.

 

  • Sport/Leisure: Lightweight and strong materials for sports equipment and leisure products.

 

Conclusion

SABIC’s LNP™ Verton™ compounds offer a unique combination of strength, customizability, and surface quality, making them a preferred choice across various industries. Whether you need a material that can withstand high impact, provide excellent surface aesthetics, or offer flame retardancy, Verton™ has the solution.
