Los nuevos materiales InvisiSil* para lentes y encapsulantes de GE aumentan las prestaciones de los LED, su duración y sus propiedades de transmisión de luz
LEVERKUSEN, ALEMANIA - 28 de noviembre de 2005 - Las aplicaciones de la optoelectrónica, y en particular de los diodos fotoemisores (LED), están aumentando rápidamente en una gran variedad de productos: desde teléfonos móviles, ordenadores de mano e instrumentos de automóvil, hasta la iluminación posterior de pantallas planas de gran tamaño, señales de tráfico, señalización y alumbrado. Este uso más extendido, sumado a los requisitos de la última generación de componentes optoelectrónicos, que son más calientes y brillantes, están aumentando la demanda de nuevos materiales capaces de prolongar el ciclo de vida de los productos y proporcionar más prestaciones. Para dar respuesta a este aumento de la demanda, GE - Advanced Materials, Silicones acaba de presentar una nueva serie de materiales para lentes y encapsulantes transparentes con aplicación en la optoelectrónica.

新Nepol™长玻纤增强聚丙烯浓缩物用于高技术要求的注塑汽车部件
在技术要求较高的注塑应用中，使用稀释技术作为节约成本的途径已成为一种增长趋势。该技术通过在注塑阶段用反应釜直接生产的聚丙烯（PP）对浓缩的长玻纤化合物（“浓缩物”）进行稀释来降低配混材料的用量。Borealis（北欧化工）通过其在中东和亚太地区的独家聚烯烃分销商和经销商Borouge（博禄），推出Nepol™ GB600HP-9502，以满足客户从传统模塑实现这种转变的需求。

New Nepol™ long, glass fibre reinforced polypropylene concentrate from Borealis for technically demanding injection moulded automotive parts
There is a growing trend to use dilution technology as a cost effective route for technically demanding injection moulded applications. This technology reduces the quantity of compounded material used by diluting a concentrated long, glass fibre compound (“concentrate”) with reactor polypropylene (PP) at the injection moulding stage. To meet the needs of customers making this transition from conventional moulding, Borealis has launched Nepol™ GB600HP-9502.

Protective Vest Solution Prevents Double Trouble
Urmond, November 22 – You won’t need super powers to repel bullets and knives, thanks to a new technology for dual protection vests that combines two leading products: Dyneema® high-performance polyethylene fiber from DSM for ballistic protection, and Steelskin® steel cord material from Bekaert for stab protection. Combination of these two materials offers body armor manufacturers new market opportunities by providing the lightest possible solution for dual protection vests within the same class of protection, compared to competitive materials and technology. Law enforcement officers benefit from enhanced flexibility, which increases comfort and ease of movement.
