Con i nuovi composti Xtreme LNP* Starflam* di SABIC Innovative Plastics migliorano le prestazioni termiche a breve termine e scendono i prezzi
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 17 giugno 2008 – Oggi SABIC Innovative Plastics ha presentato i suoi nuovi composti speciali Xtreme LNP* Starflam*, realizzati per offrire ai produttori di dispositivi e connettori elettrici un’alternativa più economica rispetto ai materiali tradizionali, quali le plastiche termoindurenti o i polimeri speciali per alte temperature, e in grado di garantire eccellenti prestazioni termiche a breve termine. I costi di produzione possono essere ridotti fino al 20% tramite l’impiego di questi materiali a base di poliammide (PA) rispetto alle plastiche termoindurenti, caratterizzate da una minor rendimento produttivo e da tempi ciclo dello stampaggio più lunghi. I nuovi composti Xtreme LNP Starflam, che comprendono anche dei gradi ignifughi (FR), sono l’ideale per applicazioni elettriche sofisticate quali i contattori e i dispositivi di protezione dei circuiti. Questa tecnologia può rappresentare una valida soluzione per le alte temperature tipiche dei processi di saldatura senza piombo che sono stati imposti al settore elettrico ed elettronico dalla direttiva RoHS. L’investimento di SABIC Innovative Plastics in nuovi materiali ad alte prestazioni ed eco-responsabili consente alla società di aiutare i suoi clienti ad ottimizzare lo sviluppo delle applicazioni.

DSM DYNEEMA AND UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL MAASTRICHT COLLABORATE TO EXPLORE NEW SOLUTIONS FOR CORRECTING SPINAL DEFORMITIES
URMOND (NL), 18 June 2008 - DSM Dyneema and the university hospital Maastricht (azM), The Netherlands, today announced a joint agreement to conduct research into new solutions that can improve surgical outcomes for patients with spinal deformities. Combining the materials technology of DSM Dyneema with the clinical expertise of the university, this project aims to develop new solutions that support the trend toward minimally invasive procedures as well as the need for preservation of mobility. The project team will focus on leveraging Dyneema Purity®, an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene fiber offering maximum strength and minimum weight, to enhance post-operative mobility and quality of life for surgery patients as a result. Furthermore, the high strength-to-weight ratio of Dyneema Purity® enables device miniaturization to support minimally invasive surgical techniques that promote faster recuperation and reduced scarring.
