UN NUEVO COMPUESTO TERMOPLÁSTICO DE QUADRANT EPP AÑADE A LAS VENTAJAS DE LOS PLÁSTICOS DE INGENIERÍA UN MAYOR NIVEL DE RESISTENCIA ESTRUCTURAL PARA SUSTITUIR METALES
Tielt, Bélgica – Junio de 2007 – Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (Quadrant EPP) ha desarrollado una nueva tecnología para incorporar refuerzo de fibra de vidrio a las matrices de polímeros a fin de multiplicar la resistencia estructural de diversos plásticos de ingeniería en forma de hoja y de placa gruesa. Como consecuencia del aumento de rigidez que se puede conseguir así, los nuevos compuestos termoplásticos (TPC) extenderán las ventajas de los plásticos de ingeniería frente a los metales y a los termoestables a aplicaciones donde la resistencia estructural era hasta ahora una limitación, o donde el espesor de material necesario resultaba prohibitivo.
