La complexité croissante du design des composants d’éclairage automobile impose de disposer de thermoplastiques nouveaux et faciles à mouler
La complexification des éclairages d’automobile à diodes électroluminescentes (LED) impose de disposer de thermoplastiques à hautes performances, notamment en matière de fluidité et de facilité de démoulage. Des considérations de conception, comme l’intégration de pièces et de fonctions, l’utilisation de composants plus larges, plus grands et plus fins pour les feux avant et arrière et l’importance critique de l’esthétique impliquent de disposer de matériaux qui permettent de produire des pièces avec des parois minces, au design affirmé, avec des angles de dépouille prononcés et dotées d’un aspect irréprochable. Le portefeuille SABIC de résines polycarbonate (PC) LEXAN™ à haute fluidité pour les masques permet aux industriels du secteur de créer des géométries complexes et d’atteindre des degrés d’intégration de fonctions jusqu’alors impossibles, tout en assurant la facilité de fabrication.
