Segments We Serve

SABIC's innovative materials and solutions have unique benefits and serve a wide range of market segments and end applications.

AGRICULTURE

SABIC MATERIALS USED

Granular and prilled urea, ammonia, DAP, MAP, NPK, SABIC stabilized urea, humic acid coated urea, zinc coated urea and technical grade urea (TGU).

BENEFITS

Support nutritional needs through increased agricultural productivity of food and fiber; improve soil and plant health; replenish soil fertility, more stable and predictable crop yields; TGU as an active ingredient of Diesel Emission Fluid (DEF), reducing pollution from diesel engine emissions.

END APPLICATIONS

Global broad-scale agriculture; horticulture and greenhouses; DEF manufacture; and industrial uses /resins.

AUTOMOTIVE

SABIC MATERIALS USED

Engineered thermoplastics (e.g., ABS, PC & PC blends, PBT, PET, TPI); polyolefins (e.g., PP, LGF & SGF-PP) and elastomers (e.g., BR, EPDM), including polymers from SABIC's TRUCIRCLE™ portfolio and BLUEHERO™ initiative; and high performance plastics including amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide (PEI) resin, polyphenylene ether (PPE) resin, as well as additives, LNP™ compounds and copolymers, polyurethane (PU).

BENEFITS

Emissions reduction due to decreased weight, cost savings, safety and fire protection, heat and electrical resistance, aesthetics and styling, aerodynamics, design freedom, light transmission, recyclability, strength and durability.

END APPLICATIONS

Exteriors, interiors, safety systems, electrical vehicle (EV) batteries, hoses and seals, lighting systems and smart panels, sensors, structures, tires, windows, connection cablets, in/out board chargers, other vehicle body structures.

BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION

SABIC MATERIALS USED

END APPLICATIONS

Photovoltaic and solar inverters, energy distribution components, EV charging (external) infrastructure, energy storage, connectors, laptops, smartphones, printers, lighting, consumer electronics.

HEALTHCARE & HYGIENE

SABIC MATERIALS USED

Dedicated medical grades with a full product line from polyolefins (PE, PP) to high performance plastics including PEI resin, specialty compounds & copolymers, PC resin, PP resin, as well as a variety of specialty resins. 

SABIC PURECARES™ portfolio – dedicated polyolefins for hygiene applications.

BENEFITS

Dedicated medical grades are compliant with the various pharmacopoeia and biocompatibility standards and offer performance features that provide greater safety, versatility, and easy sterilization and can help reduce costs and improve patient adherence.

SABIC PURECARES™ portfolio for hygiene applications offers pureness (Phthalate- and TNPP free) with high mechanical strength enabling down-gauging opportunities and good processability or high-speed production lines. 

END APPLICATIONS

Insulin pens, glucose monitors, IV bottles, blood collection tubes, auto injectors, contact lens packaging, face masks, (adult) diapers, feminine products, wound absorption, surgical gowns.

PACKAGING

SABIC MATERIALS USED

PE, PP, PET, PVC, PS, PU, PMMA, ABS, PC, including circular, bio-renewable polymers and other solutions from the TRUCIRCLE™ portfolio.

BENEFITS

Protects and preserves food and goods while complying with regulations; reduces food waste and spoilage and associated greenhouse gas emissions, reduces spread of food-related diseases, supports recyclability, minimizes environmental impact and reduces carbon footprint through the TRUCIRCLE™ portfolio; lowers weight/cost through faster production times and down-gauging. 

END APPLICATIONS

Flexible and rigid packaging for food, beverages, non-food (bottles, caps, closures, pouches, cups, pails), personal care, cosmetics, transport packaging (crates, stretch film), industrial (jerry cans, intermediate bulk containers), and agricultural (silage wrap).
