Bringing distinctive style to medical devices while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance
Muttenz, November 4, 2010 - In today’s competitive marketplace manufacturers must try to differentiate their product from others by improving functionality and design. Use of drug delivery devices increasingly occurs outside of a hospital setting and since it is the patient rather than a doctor who is the user, the device must be attractive as well as convenient and functional. They become more like any other consumer product. That is why color and other visual elements are increasingly important in device design.

Las nuevas resinas Extem* UP de SABIC Innovative Plastics suben el termostato con el máximo índice de temperatura en uso continuo para termoplásticos no rellenos
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Países Bajos – 3 de noviembre de 2010 – En el stand D42 del pabellón 6 del K 2010, SABIC Innovative Plastics está demostrando su liderazgo tecnológico mundial con otro increíble logro: uno de los máximos índices de temperatura en uso continuo del sector para un material termoplástico no reforcado. Las nuevas resinas ignífugas de poliimida termoplástica (TPI) Extem* UP son materiales para temperaturas extremas que recientemente han conseguido un índice de temperatura relativa (RTI) UL746B de 240°C. Gracias a la incorporación de poli(éter-éter-cetona) (PEEK) en su probada tecnología de resinas Extem de altas prestaciones, SABIC Innovative Plastics es capaz de ofrecer a sus clientes un óptimo rendimiento gracias a la combinación de lo mejor de ambos materiales. Esta exclusiva tecnología de mezcla abre la puerta a nuevas oportunidades para aplicaciones de menor peso para uso continuo a alta temperatura, como las bandejas de chips semiconductores, los conectores para entornos difíciles y la sustitución de metal de entornos con aceite y gas a alta temperatura, y los entornos aeroespaciales. Esta novedosa e innovadora tecnología demuestra, una vez más, el compromiso de SABIC Innovative Plastics con el desarrollo proactivo de resinas especiales únicas que satisfagan las más altas demandas de rendimiento de los clientes.
