Thermoplastics for high voltage power module applications: SABIC at The Battery Show
Last update on Jun 15, 2026
As power density and voltage requirements rise across electric vehicle platforms, the material constraints facing energy storage and power electronics engineers are becoming more acute. Structural components, electrical insulation, thermal management, and high-voltage resistance must now be resolved simultaneously - often within tighter weight and processing budgets.
At Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart, SABIC presented a portfolio of specialty thermoplastics addressing these combined demands, spanning battery pack architecture, power modules, and high-voltage passive components.

Improve performance, safety and manufacturability
The company highlighted newly launched LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ OFM compounds, which are claimed to be well suited for high-power, high-voltage electric drive and power module applications. These compounds, based on polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin, broaden the scope of SABIC’s offering for the industry and address increasingly rigorous voltage and power demands.
“Our customers are under pressure to deliver EV systems that handle more power, run cooler and operate more reliably,” said Sergi Monros, vice president, SABIC’s Specialties BU.
“We continue to expand our specialty materials portfolio with solutions like our new high‑voltage LNP THERMOCOMP OFM compounds and the broad range of material solutions we’re showcasing here. From charge to discharge, we aim to help engineers improve performance, safety and manufacturability across the entire energy‑storage and power‑electronics systems,” he said.

Honeycomb energy absorber
Illustrating its extensive product scope, SABIC displayed a full-size replica of an electric vehicle (EV) battery pack, as well as individual battery components. These include a lightweight honeycomb energy absorber using NORYL GTX™ resin, a cell retainer and module frame made with LNP KONDUIT™ compound, and electrical insulation film extruded from NORYL™ NHP resin.
Beyond EV battery components, SABIC materials on display encompass high-voltage capacitors made with ELCRES™ HTV150A film, an EV inverter housing molded from ULTEM™ resin and a high-voltage header featuring LNP KONDUIT™ compound.
