L’équipe Exatec** de SABIC Innovative Plastics ouvre de nouvelles perspectives dans la conception de vitrageautomobile, grâce à la mise au point d’une technique unique de simulation dinjection compression
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Pays-Bas – 27 août 2008 – Les récentes avancées en terme de design et d’aérodynamique automobile, couplées à une utilisation croissante de solutions plastiques, permettent de réduire la consommation du véhicule et son impact environnemental. Dans les années à venir, le polycarbonate devrait participer de manière de plus en plus significative à la résolution de cette problématique en voyant son utilisation augmenter dans les vitrages automobiles. En réponse à cette tendance, il est nécessaire de recourir au procédé d’injection compression de deux composants polycarbonate (2K ICM), assurant un niveau de contrainte limité ainsi qu’une haute qualité optique pour ces surfaces vitrées.
