Sabic's LNP Thermocomp WF006V compound is designed for laser direct structuring (LDS) of antennas that are integrated into the housings and covers of consumer electronics devices, appliances and other electronic components.

Is said to provide a tensile modulus more than two times higher than that of unfilled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or polycarbonate (PC) resin, and can be used for molding small, thin-wall parts. Also delivers good surface quality to meet aesthetic requirements, and offers good signal gain and LDS performance. Provides improved chemical resistance, hydrolytic stability and lower warpage compared to traditional materials. Also features good impact resistance and laser welding capability.
