La resina Flexible Noryl* eco-progettata di SABIC Innovative Plastics sull’onda del successo grazie alle eccellenti prestazioni tecniche dimostrate nelle applicazioni AWM di LTK

Rivestimento per cavi realizzato con la resina Flexible Noryl* di SABIC Innovative Plastics>BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 23 ottobre 2009 – SABIC Innovative Plastics ha annunciato che LTK Industries, OEM leader nella produzione di cavi elettrici con sede a Hong Kong e cliente di lunga data, ha scelto di usare la resina eco-progressiva Flexible Noryl* di SABIC Innovative Plastics per le applicazioni AWM (Appliance Wiring Material) impiegate nell'elettronica di consumo. La resina autostinguente (FR, dall’inglese flame-retardant) supera il severo test di fiamma VW-1 dell’ente Underwriters Laboratories (UL), consente a produttori come LTK di soddisfare gli esigenti requisiti globali dei componenti privi di alogeni e offre un equilibrio praticamente perfetto tra le sue eccezionali prestazioni tecniche. Abbandonando il cloruro di polivinile (PVC), che in caso di combustione può rilasciare tossine pericolose, e affidandosi alla resina Flexible Noryl, LTK ha ulteriormente rafforzato la sua posizione di leadership globale nella fornitura di soluzioni per il cablaggio elettrico.
