La nuova lastra Lexan* SG305-OB di GE combina uniformità di illuminazione e luminosità ottica superiore per insegne di grande effetto
BERGEN OP ZOOM, PAESI BASSI — 23 febbraio 2007 — GE Plastics ha introdotto una nuova qualità di lastre in policarbonato (PC) Lexan* specificatamente concepite per esaltare la visibilità e l'effetto delle insegne luminose. A differenza delle lastre convenzionali la Lexan SG305-OB offre una diffusione della luce uniforme, in grado di ovviare all'effetto "puntinato" dei diodi luminosi (LED) e alla visibilità di qualsiasi fonte luminosa, insieme ad un'elevata capacità di trasmissione della luce, per una brillantezza ottica eccezionale con costi energetici più bassi. Gli spessori di 2mm e 5mm dei fogli Lexan SG305-OB infatti esaltano la trasmissione della luce portandola a quasi al 50%, a differenza dei materiali come il polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA), che offre soltanto il 25% circa. La nuova qualità di lastra bianca, che presenta una superficie satinata sul lato esterno per ridurre i riflessi, offre anche un'eccellente protezione dagli UV insieme alla rinomata resistenza agli impatti della robusta, quasi infrangibile, resina Lexan.
