GE Advanced Materials y Nolan: un equipo seguro

Nolan eligió la resina copolimérica de policarbonato-siloxano LEXAN EXL® para el armazón de su modelo de casco integral con visera N101 y, desde entonces, el uso de este material se ha extendido a toda su gama de productos. El grado en cuestión elegido ofrece una excelente resistencia al impacto a bajas temperaturas, resistencia química superior y capacidad de pintado mejorada cuando se lo compara con las resinas de policarbonato tradicionales. La producción de cascos para motoristas en el Grupo de empresas Nolan comenzó a principios de los años setenta, cuando se decidió recurrir a la resina de policarbonato LEXAN —el mismo material innovador que usaba la NASA para los cascos de los astronautas— para mejorar aún más la seguridad del casco. A lo largo de sus treinta y cinco años de historia, el Grupo Nolan, en asociación con GE Advanced Materials, ha seguido elevando el listón de sus productos, ha ampliado su gama y ha fomentado el perfeccionamiento de materiales cada vez más sofisticados.
