La luminaria tubular Luzern 38 de Norka fabricada con la resina de policarbonato copolímero Lexan DMX de SABIC Innovative Plastics>BERGEN OP ZOOM, Países Bajos – 27 de agosto de 2010 – Norka, líder alemán en fabricación de sistemas de iluminación, eligió la resina de copolímero de policarbonato (PC) de rendimiento extremo Lexan* DMX de SABIC Innovative Plastics para su nueva línea de luminarias tubulares Luzern 38 con diodos emisores de luz (LED). La resina Lexan DMX es capaz de soportar los entornos hostiles ricos en amoniaco propios de los establos, las jaulas de los zoológicos y otros cerramientos para animales, lo que permite que Norka pueda crear un producto de iluminación distintivo para este especializado mercado. Al contrario de lo que ocurre con los PC tradicionales, la nueva resina Lexan DMX ofrece una excepcional claridad, bajo nivel de nublina y resistencia a las roturas provocadas por la exposición prolongada al amoniaco, con el fin de ampliar la vida útil de las luminarias y reducir su consumo de energía. Gracias a esta aplicación única, Norka y SABIC Innovative Plastics han fortalecido su ya prolongada relación y han demostrado el valor de mercado que supone la innovación continuada en el campo de los copolímeros de policarbonato.
