GE Plastics inclut les nouvelles résines conductrices Noryl GTX* à son portefeuille croissant de produits ecomagination*
BERGEN OP ZOOM, PAYS-BAS — 8 mai 2007 — Les résines conductrices Noryl GTX* de GE Plastics font officiellement partie du portefeuille de produits grandissant de GE : ecomagination*. Ces nouveaux matériaux écologiques sont optimisés pour un usage avec les revêtements par poudre. En effet, ils contiennent des charges conductrices qui éliminent le besoin d’appliquer un primaire électrostatique susceptible d’émettre de dangereux solvants et leurs composés dans l’atmosphère. En ce qui concerne les applications de revêtement par poudre, non seulement les résines Noryl GTX ont la capacité de remplacer les substrats en métal éliminant ainsi les prétraitements chimiques potentiellement dangereux, mais elles offrent aussi une plus grande liberté de design. Sur une même chaîne de production, les grades Noryl permettent également d'appliquer les revêtements par poudre à la fois sur des métaux et sur des plastiques afin de réaliser des économies d'échelle tout en produisant une finition uniforme.
