ABLE & Saint-Gobain: Converting World-Class Materials for Industry Applications

For over 50 years, ABLE has been a trusted leader in custom converting solutions to most critical industries with precision-engineered solutions. At the core of this success is our dedication to innovation and partnerships with global material science leaders like Saint-Gobain.
Saint-Gobain, a world-renowned company with a legacy of over 350 years, is known for developing high-performance materials that meet the demanding requirements of the medical, automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries. As a preferred converter, ABLE transforms Saint-Gobain’s premium materials into custom parts and components that meet local specifications, regulatory standards, and technical challenges.
Why Saint-Gobain Materials?
Saint-Gobain is the world leader in engineered materials trusted in industries that require quality and reliability. Their material in the medical field is prepared to keep the comfort and safety of the patients in mind. These materials comprise films, foams, and adhesives, which are breathable, skin-safe, and durable, frequently employed in wound care, diagnostics, and wearable medical technological areas. They are non-allergenic, ensure reliably strong but constant bonding when worn over lengthy periods, and are compatible with sterilization treatment, thus promoting safety and usefulness between the factory and attainment.
ABLE with Saint-Gobain’s Industry Applications
Medical Applications
Saint-Gobain provides skin-safe, breathable, and durable films, foams, and adhesives made to contact patients in the medical industry. These products are found in wound care, medical wearables, and diagnostic applications. They are hypoallergenic and have minimal chances of irritation when in contact with the skin, over a long period, and the adhesive is strong yet gentle, a combination which promotes reliable performance without reducing product comfort. They are meant to be converted through the sterilization procedures and are up to the regulations regarding the safe usage of these materials in a clinical setting.
Industrial Applications
For industrial applications, Saint-Gobain materials deliver exceptional resistance to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals. They are ideal for use in sealing, gasketing, and fluid transfer systems where consistent performance is critical. These materials retain their mechanical properties under extreme conditions, making them suitable for harsh operating environments such as those found in chemical processing plants, electronic assembly lines, and cleanroom manufacturing. Their reliability under pressure helps reduce downtime and enhance product safety.
Automotive Applications
Saint-Gobain materials facilitate safer, more efficient use in lightweighting vehicle designs in the automotive industry. Their noise-damping foams, insulation structure, and thermal and acoustic insulation improve passenger comfort through the elimination of noise, vibration, and harshness. The lightweight materials also contribute to reducing vehicle weight, enhancing fuel economy and meeting tough emissions-related regulations. By assisting innovation in all aspects of a vehicle, traditional and electric, Saint-Gobain provides both conventional and electric vehicles with interior systems to powertrain components.
Aerospace Applications
Saint-Gobain materials are reliable in high-performance, mission-critical applications in aerospace. Their applications include cabin insulation, structural bonding, precision sealing, and other applications where safety, durability, and high standards of the industry are crucial. They are lightweight but strong, resulting in fuel savings and weight reduction of the aircraft without compromising on needed strength and performance. The engineered materials produced by Saint-Gobain aerospace industries are used by the aerospace manufacturers to suit the technical requirements across the commercial and defense airways.
