Valox iQ* resin is made using an environmentally responsible PBT resin that uses post-consumer PET feedstock, which gets upcycled via a proprietary process to make iQ-PBT resin.

Valox iQ resin has 50-85% lower carbon footprint than engineering thermoplastics, with excellent electrical, chemical resistance, and good aesthetics. These resins have virgin properties and fall within the same specification as traditional PBT resins. Valox iQ Resin also has enhanced processability having about 10-15% higher flow than standard PBT resins.

Taking existing environmental restrictions, such as the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, a step farther, several global electronics manufacturers are voluntarily reducing halogenated additives in their products to benefit the environment. Helping to support this, SABIC Innovative Plastics introduced EFR 735 film, the company's first thermoplastic film made without the use of brominated or chlorinated flame-retardants.

The re-building of the engineering tools has now been completed on the SABIC Innovative Plastics website, www.sabic-ip.com. There are a total of 16 functional tools that have been designed to be more interactive, user-friendly and intuitive for all levels of users. These tools were put together around the basic fundamentals of engineering and design principals to help in the design and enhancement process for various applications. You can access these tools through Engineering Data & Tools where selecting Engineering Tools will bring you to the home page for these tools.

Users can also access these tools through the Build My Application page, where various other material selection tools and design literature are made readily accessible. Registration is required to access these engineering tools.
