This milestone reinforces our path toward becoming the preferred world leader in chemicals.”

In the Materials Science category, SABIC has won three awards:  NORYL™ V0150TW / V0150IR2 resin engineered for the solar energy market; ULTEM™ SU3102P reactive oligomer thermoplastic toughening solution used in aerospace thermoset composites; and LNP™ ELCRES™ NP copolymers that provides manufacturers with solutions they can rely upon when addressing concerns over PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), which are linked to potential health risks.

In the Energy & Climate Resiliency category, SABIC was recognized for its breakthrough membrane process, HybSi®, that replaces energy-intensive distillation for drying of chemicals reducing energy consumption by 70%.

In the Water, Food & Agriculture category, SABIC Agri-Nutrients was recognized for its innovative method of making bio-organometallic granules into agri-nutrients and soil bio-amendment, enhancing soil health to improve nutrient uptake. The unique sustainable mineral fertilizer creates a new generation of enhanced urea.
