K 2016: SABIC introduces first-ever synthetic rubber products made in Saudi Arabia

SABIC has introduced its new range of synthetic rubber products, which are produced for the first time in Saudi Arabia, at K 2016. 

 

Commenting on the pioneering Saudi-made synthetic rubber products, Abdulrahman Al-Fageeh, SABIC Executive Vice President, Polymers, said that the Group is proud to be pioneering producers of synthetic rubbers in the Middle East to support conversion industries for tires, automotive, building and construction. With SABIC's ideal location, it should be able to reach strategic global markets, particularly Europe, further developing customer intimacy. 

 

 

Sami Mohammed Al-Osaimi, vice president, Elastomers, PVC, PS, PET, PMMA and POM, said, “Europe is a strategic market for SABIC’s new rubber products that will be used mainly for automotive applications, such as tires, gaskets, hoses, and weather seals. Key applications for the construction industry include roof sheeting, and building profiles, besides industrial uses such as conveyor belts. At the K-Show, we will be making visitors aware of our world-class solutions to serve our customers and power their ambitions.”
