In this context, <a href=\"https:\/\/polymix.eu\/matieres\/sabic-pp-stamax-fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">STAMAX\u2122<\/a>FR resins, developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/polymix.eu\/matieres\/sabic-pp-stamax-fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SABIC<\/a>, present innovative and strategic solutions for several sectors, including mobility, electronics, construction and renewable energies. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#0077d4\" class=\"has-inline-color\">What are STAMAX\u2122 FR resins?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>STAMAX\u2122 FR resins are polypropylene-based compounds reinforced with long glass fibers (LGF PP). Designed for structural applications, they offer an exceptional balance between cost reduction, light weight and mechanical performance.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#0077d4\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Main features :<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High rigidity and impact resistance<\/strong>: superior performance to PP compounds reinforced with short fibers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dimensional stability<\/strong>: reduced deformation, better thermal resistance (up to 420\u00b0 according to UL 2596) and lower moisture absorption than polyamides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduced carbon footprint<\/strong>: recyclable materials, less material needed for an application (low density) and weight reduction in the e-mobility and building sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Design flexibility<\/strong>: properties adapted to a wide range of applications thanks to grades designed for injection, extrusion and thermoforming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#0077d4\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Solutions tailored to the needs of a wide range of industries<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>STAMAX\u2122 resins stand out in a variety of applications, from electric vehicles to construction equipment:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Electric mobility<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>STAMAX\u2122 <strong> FR<\/strong> resins are ideal for use in the electric mobility sector, replacing metals such as aluminum and steel, with weight savings of up to 50%. STAMAX\u2122 FR resins are also particularly well suited to semi-structural components. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Renewable energies<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>STAMAX\u2122 FR resins provide a lightweight, durable and high-temperature-resistant <strong> solution <\/strong>for solar panels and their supports. Antenna shells for 5G infrastructures and energy storage structures also benefit from these advantages. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Building and construction<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>:<strong> for <\/strong>scaffolding panels and profiles, STAMAX\u2122 FR offers an alternative to traditional materials such as wood, reducing weight by up to 60% and increasing component life thanks to their resistance to moisture, corrosion and weathering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#94c356\" class=\"has-inline-color\">A sustainable, cost-effective solution<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>By reducing product weight and optimizing production cycles, STAMAX\u2122 FR resins cut manufacturing costs. What&#8217;s more, their recyclability and low environmental impact meet supply chain sustainability requirements.<\/p>\n\n<p>One of the other strengths of the STAMAX\u2122 FR range concerns the very structure of the pellets, which are less abrasive to tooling than short fibers and therefore require less maintenance and replacement.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#0077d4\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Focus: STAMAX\u2122 flame retardants<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>STAMAX\u2122 FR flame-retardant grades are distinguished by their chemical resistance and compliance with safety standards, such as UL 94 and IEC. Ideal for EV batteries and recharging infrastructures, these solutions offer a significant reduction in weight compared with metals, improving the range of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n\n<p>Among the examples, STAMAX\u2122 30YH515 is a polypropylene copolymer with 30% long glass fibers, offering high fluidity and UL94 V0 classification at 1.5 mm, making it an ideal choice for injection molding.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#0077d4\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Supporting innovation with SABIC<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Beyond materials, SABIC &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/polymix.eu\/matieres\/sabic-pp-stamax-fr\/\">POLYMIX<\/a> offer comprehensive services to help manufacturers optimize their designs through advanced consulting and state-of-the-art technical support. This approach reduces development times and improves the performance of end products, depending on the desired applications. <\/p>\n\n<p>STAMAX\u2122 FR resins embody a major milestone in the evolution of plastics processing. Combining lightness, performance and durability, they are an essential choice for manufacturers seeking to meet today&#8217;s environmental and economic challenges.<\/p>\n\n<figure
