GE’s New Anti-Static, Impact-Resistant LNP* Stat-Loy* Compounds Help Enhance Security for Plasmon UDO™ Optical Media

GE’s LNP* Stat-Loy* D Series Compounds Form the Shells of Plasmon’s UDO™ Media Plasmon, a market leader for professional data archival solutions, designed its cutting-edge UDO™ (Ultra Density Optical) media to be a highly secure archival storage medium for its customers’ valuable electronic data. Part of that security arises from Plasmon’s use of new D Series LNP* Stat-Loy* resins from GE Advanced Materials. Used to form the shell of Plasmon’s SLMD2005 UDO media, the Lexan* resin-based LNP compounds contribute an excellent balance of impact performance and resistance to static charge build-up. The new GE compounds are also good potential candidates for applications such as high-density media, internal hard disk parts, and air duct housings.

Herausragender Erfolg für Nanogel® transparente Aerogel-Tageslichtpaneele in erster europäischer Installation

Tageslichtleistung Als Parameter für den Tageslichtquotienten hatten die Baupläne einen Wert von 0,03 bis 0,05 bzw. 3% bis 5% vorgegeben. Dies ist über die Länge einer Sporthalle mit normaler Befensterung eher schwer zu erreichen. Dennoch, und obwohl die bebaute Fläche der Buchwiesen-Sporthalle unter der Bodengleiche liegt, wurde der geforderte Tageslichtquotient über die gesamte Hallenfläche hin- weg erfüllt und zur Mitte hin sogar etwas übertroffen. Testmessungen am Ort der ersten europäischen Installation von Nanogel® transparenten Aerogel-Tageslichtelementen in einer Schulsporthalle in Buchwiesen, Zürich, haben die positiven Erwartungen des Architekten, Arnold Amsler, voll erfüllt. Die Halle profitiert von der gleichmäßig hellen Lichtstreuung der Paneele und bietet den Benutzern im Winter wie im Sommer ein dauerhaft behagliches Raumklima.
