I copolimeri Lexan* trasparenti e resistenti alle alte temperature di SABIC Innovative Plastics offrono soluzioni progettuali di massimo livello per le applicazioni più impegnative
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 31 marzo 2010 – La missione di SABIC Innovative Plastics di permettere ai clienti di abbattere i propri costi, ottenendo nel contempo prestazioni straordinarie con l'uso di materiali termoplastici ad alte prestazioni, ha portato ad un'altra novità rivoluzionaria nel settore: i copolimeri Lexan* XHT in policarbonato (PC) trasparente, resistente alle alte temperature. Questa gamma di resine ad elevato valore aggiunto in PC è caratterizzata da una nuova composizione chimica del polimero che assicura un equilibrio ottimale fra la resistenza ad alte temperature e un’elevata fluidità. Questo equilibrio amplia notevolmente le possibilità progettuali, poiché consente lo stampaggio di componenti con pareti sottili, come dispositivi medici o fusibili elettrici. I copolimeri Lexan XHT offrono anche un'eccellente trasparenza e colorabilità, caratteristiche che li rendono una soluzione ottimale per applicazioni quali l'illuminazione industriale e di consumo e le schermature termiche. Fanno parte della crescente gamma di copolimeri Lexan di SABIC Innovative Plastics, sviluppatasi sulle basi tecnologiche della resina in PC Lexan risalenti a 50 anni fa.
