Press Release article 2 of 5, Source: Company Website, 279 words October 08 2025: SABIC unveils advanced material solutions at K 2025 to shape everyday products SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, showcased its theme "Connecting Everyday Life" at K 2025 by unveiling innovative solutions that help in develop everyday products through extensive collaborations across the value chain. SABIC grouped its K show exhibit into five display areas - Live, Move, Work, Shop, and Care - to reflect how the company's technological innovations are being discreetly woven into the fabric of daily routines. Sami Al-Osaimi, Executive Vice President, Polymers Business at SABIC said: "Visitors to K show can see that our products can help enhance everyday life by seamlessly integrating our cutting-edge material solutions, technology and consumer-centric approach. We help enable electrification, foster design freedom, advance recyclability, and support the increasing demand for renewable energy solutions, all contributing to the evolution of products used daily by consumers, businesses, and industries around the world." In the "Move" area, SABIC's knowledge related to EVs and their charging systems has been consolidated in its BLUEHERO(TradeMark) initiative, which enables the next generation of electric mobility with material solutions for EV battery systems, power electronics, and charging infrastructure. For large transportation parts, SABIC introduced its new MEGAMOLDING(TradeMark) platform, combining the company's expertise, data, tools and materials to help in produce large thermoplastic parts especially for electric vehicles. Under the "Shop" and "Care" areas, SABIC demonstrated end products derived from its TRUCIRCLE portfolio of products and services. SABIC works with suppliers and customers to create solutions with polymers attributed to certified bio-renewable feedstock, that might contribute to lowering the product's carbon footprint when compared to incumbent solutions. Press Release article 3 of 5, Source: Company Website, 293 words October 07 2025: SABIC & Zuyderland collaborate to drive circularity for hospital plastic waste, presenting closed loop pilots with ecosystem partners SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, has collaborated with Zuyderland medical center in The Netherlands to help transform medical plastic waste into new contact sensitive packaging materials. In collaboration with converters, Coveris and ACE, and brand owners Artivion and Molnlycke Health Care, the SABIC and its project partners have successfully proven the concept of recycling used medical plastic back into the medical materials stream in two innovative pilot projects. Staff at Zuyderland launched a medical plastic waste collection program in June 2024 to help address unmet needs and challenges of plastic waste that would otherwise be incinerated. The program consists of a novel collection system for non-contaminated plastic waste that has not come into contact with patients, blood, or bodily fluids. With the support of specialized transport company L'Ortye, the plastic waste was prepared and transported to SABIC to be converted into pyrolysis oil leveraging advanced recycling processes. SABIC then used this alternative feedstock to produce virgin-like certified circular polyethylene (PE) from its TRUCIRCLE(TradeMark) portfolio. The new certified circular TRUCIRCLE(TradeMark) PE has subsequently been used in two new healthcare solutions: Coveris produced packaging with 25% content attributed to recycled medical waste for Artivion's guide wire used in vascular surgery. Molnlycke Health Care produced surgical drapes with 49% content attributed to hospital-generated plastic waste to be delivered in the ProcedurePak solution with material component from ACE. Khaled Al- Jalawi, Global Circular Economy Director at SABIC stated: "We are excited about this pioneering circular business model pilot, which showcases the potential of circular plastic innovations when leading actors from across the medical ecosystem closely collaborate. Press Release article 4 of 5, Source: Company Website, 283 words September 30 2025: SABIC To debut non-fluorinated Siltem(TradeMark) resin blends with enhanced performance at IWCS 2025 SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, will feature at the 2025 IWCS Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum, in Booth #230, three new families of non-fluorinated SILTEM(TradeMark) resin blends. These novel materials can potentially replace fluoropolymers such as ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in wire & cable applications used in the automotive, industrial, and oil & gas industries. The SABIC materials help to address regulatory restrictions on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a broad category that includes fluoropolymers. In addition to being formulated without fluorine, the new blends build on the properties of SILTEM(TradeMark) polyetherimide/siloxane (PEI-Si) copolymer resin to deliver easier processing and enhanced performance, such as better thermal and chemical resistance. The new SILTEM resin blends may also be candidates for strain reliefs, data cables, heat tracing cables and automotive under-hood wiring. Beyond wire & cable, they have potential for use in seals, gaskets and heat-shrink tubes, for which the material can be crosslinked to meet "shape memory" requirements. They are available for sampling. At IWCS, Sean Culligan, senior manager, ULTEM(TradeMark) and NORYL(TradeMark) Resins, will present on "Polyetherimide (PEI)-Siloxane Copolymers as an Alternative to Fluoropolymers" during Session 9 of the Technical Symposium, which will run from 8:30 to 11:50 a.m. EDT on Oct. 30. "Many wire & cable customers are looking for alternatives to fluoropolymers that address regulatory concerns and strict performance requirements." said Sergi Monros, vice president, SABIC Polymers, Specialties BU. "Our new SILTEM resin blends address growing demands for materials that avoid fluorine while raising the bar on performance and processing." Press Release article 5 of 5, Source: Company Website, 322 words August 31 2025: SABIC to highlight at PCIM Asia 2025 specialty dielectric films that address challenges of high-voltage, high-heat electrical applications At PCIM Asia 2025, SABIC will give a talk on ELCRES(TradeMark) HTV150 dielectric film and will also present voltage derating test results for Nichicon capacitors that use this ultra-thin film. High-voltage capacitors made with ELCRES HTV150 film can operate at high temperatures up to 150 C with minimal derating. SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, will showcase at PCIM Asia 2025, in Hall N5, Booth F03, ultra-thin ELCRES(TradeMark) HTV150 dielectric film that is well suited for capacitors used in demanding electrical applications, including AC-DC inverters in electric vehicles (EVs). Advanced capacitors made with the SABIC film can operate at high temperatures up to 150 C with minimal derating of applied voltage (V). This capability will be discussed in two technical presentations during the event. "Higher voltages are a common theme across electrical applications, from connectors and capacitors to wire and cable," said Sergi Monros, vice president, SABIC Polymers, Specialties BU. "While high voltages can increase operational efficiency, they present challenges. SABIC continues to lead and innovate in this space. Our specialty materials perform well under exposure to high voltages, high temperatures and harsh conditions, helping customers deliver next-generation electrified components." Minimizing Voltage Derating in Film Capacitors Exposure to elevated temperatures can significantly lower the rated voltage of polymer film capacitors. For example, the rated voltage for capacitors made with biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film may be reduced by up to 50 percent at 125 C and above, requiring thicker gauges to compensate. However, recent testing by Nichicon, a leading Japanese capacitor manufacturer, showed that capacitors made with SABIC's ELCRES HTV150 dielectric film experienced minimal derating (4.8 percent at 130 C and 14 percent at 150 C). SABIC Chief Scientist Adel Bastawros, Ph.D., will speak on these voltage derating test results from Nichicon from 11:40 a.m. Top shareholders Top 5 shareholders
