SABIC Innovative Plastics’ Exatec* Team Releases New Research on Part Design for Best-in-Class Surface Quality in Automotive PC Glazing
Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands – October 21, 2008 – As automakers move towards the broader adoption of lightweight polycarbonate glazing materials to assist with fuel economy improvement and CO2 emissions reduction, SABIC Innovative Plastics has the answers to new design and manufacturing challenges facing automotive engineers. Through its Exatec automotive glazing organization, a range of custom solutions are available which provide OEM’s and Tier-1 suppliers with the broadest range of automotive glazing technologies. This includes new research into the best part design approach for optimum coating performance. A study recently completed at the Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands, Glazing Center of Excellence revealed the effect of different transition profiles (where the clear polycarbonate window meets the opaque “black-out” material) on the surface quality of silicone hard-coated parts. The results were generated using a new panoramic roof prototype tool (shown here) and indicated the best transition designs for suppliers to implement, which will achieve higher quality appearance and better manufacturing yields for wet-coated and plasma-coated exterior surfaces.

HELMETS FEATURING DYNEEMA® HB26 ARE CHOSEN BY SOUTH KOREAN ARMY AS LIGHTEST-WEIGHT SOLUTION FOR FRAGMENT PROTECTION
URMOND (NL), 20 October 2008 - To obtain the optimum combination of fragment-stopping performance and light weight, the Republic of Korea has selected protective helmets featuring Dyneema® HB26 material for its army. The 24,000 helmets, manufactured by Samyang Comtech in Seoul, offer up to 20 percent weight savings compared to conventional aramid helmets, together with a higher ballistics performance when using the v50 test. This significant program is a volume milestone for Dyneema® HB26 in a helmet application, and demonstrates the acceptance of the material based on its excellent fitness for use in helmets. To support growing demand for its ballistics protection materials, as evidenced by the South Korean Army’s large order, DSM Dyneema is on plan to significantly boost capacity for Dyneema® UD (unidirectional) composites used in life protection. Additional capacity in both yarn and UD (unidirectional) material has been brought on stream at its Greenville, North Carolina, facility. DSM Dyneema is on target to double global capacity for UD in 2009, as part of a USD $450 million investment announced earlier.
