SABIC  introduced LNP THERMOCOMP OFC08V compound, a material well suited for 5G base station dipole antennas and other electrical/electronic applications. This new compound can help the industry develop lightweight, cost-effective, all-plastic antenna designs that facilitate deployment of 5G infrastructure. In an era of increasing urbanization and smart cities, broad availability of 5G networking is urgently needed to provide fast, reliable connectivity for millions of residents.

LNP THERMOCOMP OFC08V compound is a glass fiber-reinforced material based on polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin. It features excellent plating performance using laser direct structuring (LDS), strong layer adhesion, good warpage control, high heat resistance, and stable dielectric and radio frequency (RF) performance. This unique combination of properties could enable an injection moldable new dipole antenna design, offering advantages over traditional printed circuit board (PCB) assembly and the selective electroplating of plastic.
