Il nuovo copolimero Lexan* EXL di SABIC aumenta la libertà di progettazione degli impianti fotovoltaici miniaturizzati di prossima generazione
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 7 dicembre 2011 – L'unità Innovative Plastics di SABIC oggi ha annunciato una nuova resina copolimerica Lexan* EXL ad alte prestazioni che affronta la tendenza in rapida evoluzione verso la miniaturizzazione delle scatole di giunzione e dei connettori fotovoltaici.
