GELOY® OFFRE UNA RISPOSTA AI REQUISITI FUTURI DELLE APPLICAZIONI ELETTRICHE

La Schneider Electric España SA, società leader nel settore elettrico, ha scelto già da diversi anni di utilizzare i tecnopolimeri termoplastici per le loro doti di libertà di design, facile processabilità, ottima qualità estetica e riciclabilità. Per individuare il materiale più adatto a soddisfare tutti i requisiti relativi a una importante serie di prese ed interruttori prodotti nello speciale colore “bianco polare”, la Schneider si è rivolta a GE Advanced Materials e con il suo supporto ha scelto GELOY®. Con le sue caratteristiche di stabilità cromatica, brillantezza e qualità superficiale questo prodotto si è dimostrato la scelta ideale per questa applicazione “in vista”. La richiesta di nuove soluzioni stilistiche e maggior qualità estetica non è che una delle molte esigenze con cui devono fare i conti le società manifatturiere che operano nel settore elettrico. Un’altra richiesta relativamente recente ma che va assumendo un’importanza sempre maggiore riguarda la conformità alla direttiva UE sui rifiuti di apparecchiature elettriche ed elettroniche. Tale direttiva, più nota con l’acronimo RAEE (WEEE in inglese) fa obbligo ai produttori di assumersi la responsabilità dell’impatto ambientale dei loro prodotti a fine vita.

Eastman Spectar® sheet provides affordable, yet high-end furniture design

He then attached the resulting plastic shell to a metal base with four screws. When Brazilian designer Lars Diederichsen needed a material for the new chair he was designing, he looked for something beautiful, easy to work with, and reasonably priced.
