In the Consumer electronics engineering thermoplastics electronic enclosures, polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene are two of the most frequently used plastics.
The advantages of both PC and ABS can be found in a thermoplastic blend of PC and ABS. PC+ABS blends are frequently utilized in the electronics, telecommunications, and automotive industries.
Electronic (analog or digital) equipment intended for everyday use, typically in private homes, are referred to as consumer electronics or home electronics. Devices that are used for entertainment, communication, and recreation are called consumer electronics.
Because plastics do not conduct electricity, a wide range of applications require their insulating qualities. PVC is frequently used to cover electric wiring, and thermosets, which can withstand high temperatures, are used to make handles, switches, and light fixtures.
Silicon is probably the most widely used advanced material in electronics production. It can be found in semiconductors and microchips. Antimony, bismuth, cobalt, and talc are other materials used in manufacturing that fall under this category.
The Global Consumer electronics engineering thermoplastics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, announced that its engineering thermoplastics business is expanding its portfolio of CYCOLOYTM and LEXANTM resins containing high levels of post-consumer recycled material (PCR) in response to calls from major brands in the consumer electronics business as well as the electrics and electronics (E&E) industry as a whole for more sustainable materials.
Consumer electronics and accessories like chargers and adapters, printers, copiers, and laptop housings are typical applications for the portfolio. Compounds with initial PCR levels of up to 30% are produced when the new PCR material and the virgin material are combined.
In comparison to virgin material, these compounds offer potentially significant reductions in energy consumption and carbon footprint of up to 30%, according to an internal SABIC LCA study.
SABIC hopes to be able to provide materials with up to 60% PCR content. The compounds and their properties will be tailored to meet the needs of various industries.
The market for consumer electronics engineering thermoplastics in electronics applications is expected to be worth $115.10 billion. I can’t say that I’m shocked. For a number of years, The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, which is a whirlwind of plastics applications.
The city that really never sleeps is currently hosting the annual event. The world’s first notebook and sleeve made of ocean-bound plastic materials were among the new PCs, displays, and accessories that HP Inc. debuted at the CES show floor.
This white paper looks at how injection molders’ mold controllers have changed over time and how the most recent generation of solutions can improve both performance and profitability.
Because of the significant advancements, molders are prioritizing their upgrades to the most recent models to take advantage of the economic value they provide.
