La resina Lexan* DMX resistente all’ammoniaca di SABIC Innovative Plastics estende la durata delle apparecchiature per illuminazione ad alto rendimento energetico LED di Norka
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 27 agosto 2010 – Norka, azienda tedesca leader nella produzione di sistemi di illuminazione, ha scelto la resina copolimerica a base di policarbonato (PC) Lexan* DMX ad alta resa di SABIC Innovative Plastics per la sua nuova linea di apparecchiature per illuminazione tubolari Luzern 38 con diodi a emissione luminosa (LED). La resina Lexan DMX è in grado di resistere in ambienti ostili e ricchi di ammoniaca, quali stalle, gabbie degli zoo e altre aree recintate per animali, e ha consentito pertanto a Norka di creare uno speciale prodotto d’illuminazione per questo mercato di nicchia. A differenza dei policarbonati tradizionali, la nuova resina Lexan DMX offre un’eccezionale chiarezza e resistenza all’ offuscamento/riduzione della trasmissione luminosa e all’infragilimento derivanti dalla prolungata esposizione all’ammoniaca, portando a una maggiore durata delle apparecchiature per illuminazione e riducendo cosi’ il consumo energetico. Grazie a questa eccezionale applicazione, Norka e SABIC Innovative Plastics hanno rafforzato la loro longeva collaborazione, dimostrando il valore di mercato della continua innovazione nell’ambito dei copolimeri a base di policarbonato.
