SABIC has unveiled its latest portfolio of advanced materials for electric vehicle (EV) battery systems at Battery Show Europe 2026 in Stuttgart, Germany. The company is showcasing a range of specialty thermoplastics designed to support improved battery performance, safety, reliability, and manufacturability as the EV industry moves toward higher-voltage and higher-power applications.
At the event, SABIC highlighted its comprehensive EV battery materials ecosystem, covering applications from battery cells and modules to complete battery packs and power electronics. The company said its solutions are aimed at helping manufacturers meet the growing demands of next-generation electric mobility technologies.
A major focus of the showcase is SABIC’s newly introduced LNP THERMOCOMP OFM compounds, which are based on polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin. These materials have been developed for high-voltage electric drivetrains and power modules, helping improve thermal performance, durability, and operational reliability in demanding EV environments.
To demonstrate practical applications, the company displayed a full-scale EV battery pack replica along with various battery system components. The exhibit includes lightweight energy-absorbing structures, battery module frames, cell retainers, and electrical insulation solutions that contribute to safer and more efficient battery system designs.
SABIC also showcased materials used in EV power electronics, including solutions for high-voltage capacitors, inverter housings, and electrical connection systems. These materials are intended to enhance electrical performance while supporting the industry’s increasing focus on safety, reliability, and efficiency.
According to SABIC, its expanding portfolio is designed to support innovation across the entire EV energy chain, from charging and power conversion to energy storage and discharge. The company believes advanced materials will play a key role in enabling lighter, safer, and more sustainable electric vehicle battery systems in the years ahead.
