El Ford F-150, camioneta del año 2009 en Norteamérica, reluce gracias a sus brillantes biseles de metalizado directo en los faros traseros, fabricados con resinas de SABIC Innovative Plastics
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Países Bajos - 12 de enero de 2009. - En el diseño automotriz moderno, los biseles de los faros son un factor de diferenciación cada vez más importante. Por eso la cartera de resinas con efectos especiales de SABIC Innovative Plastics abarca una amplia gama de materiales pensados para que los diseños destaquen del resto, sea cual sea la aplicación (diseños metalizados, con textura o colores de carrocería). El metalizado directo de piezas plásticas moldeadas es un proceso ampliamente utilizado para crear biseles de faros ligeros y muy llamativos. Cuando Ford Motor Company (en colaboración con Automotive Components Holding, LLC) se propuso diseñar el bisel trasero metalizado directo para el Ford F-150, ganador del premio «Camioneta del año 2009 en Norteamérica», decidió fabricar su elegante bisel de aspecto metalizado para los faros traseros con la resina de PBT Valox* V2000DM de SABIC Innovative Plastics .
