BERGEN OP ZOOM, PAÍSES BAJOS — 20 de noviembre de 2006 — Ya está aquí la solución para fabricantes de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos (E/E) que hayan tenido que enfrentarse al dilema de elegir entre el elevado coste de especificar una poliamida (PI) para alcanzar las prestaciones deseadas y reducir la categoría de una aplicación mediante el uso de naftalato de polietileno (PEN) o poliéster (PET). La nueva película Ultem* 5000B de GE Plastics ofrece excelentes prestaciones y rentabilidad a la vez. Se trata de un material basado en la resina de polieterimida (PEI) Ultem de GE. Su elevada resistencia a las altas temperaturas y las llamas, su baja absorción de la humedad y sus excelentes propiedades dieléctricas lo convierten en un excelente candidato para diversas aplicaciones en aparatos E/E, como cintas y laminados aislantes, diafragmas y bobinas de altavoces, etiquetas de código de barras de alta temperatura y resistencias planas flexibles. La película Ultem 5000B está disponible en negro y ámbar, y en tamaños de 25 mm a 750 mm.
