L’équipe Exatec* de SABIC Innovative Plastics lance de nouvelles recherches sur la conception des pièces pour une excellente qualité de surface dans le vitrage PC automobile
Bergen op Zoom, Pays-Bas – 21 octobre 2008 – Dans le cadre de l’allégement du poids des véhicules et afin de contribuer à la réduction de la consommation de carburant et des émissions de CO2, les constructeurs automobiles se dirigent vers l’adoption de la solution thermoplastique polycarbonate, sensiblement plus légère que le verre, pour les applications vitrage. SABIC Innovative Plastics apporte des réponses aux défis, liés à la conception et la mise en production de ces solutions, auxquels sont confrontés les ingénieurs concernés par cette évolution majeure. SABIC Innovative Plastics, par le biais d’Exatec et de son équipe dédiée au marché vitrage automobile, a développé la gamme de technologie la plus large actuellement sur le marché. Inclus dans cette approche, les solutions de conception pièce afin d’optimiser les performances de la couche de protection. Une étude récemment réalisée dans le centre d’Excellence de Vitrage Automobile de SABIC Innovative Plastics, situé à Bergen op Zoom aux Pays-Bas, a mis en évidence l’importance de la zone de transition entre la partie transparente et la partie opaque (noir, servant à la dissimulation des zones techniques de la fonction vitrage) sur la qualité finale des pièces protégées par une couche de silicone dit « hard-coat ». Les résultats ont été générés à partir d’un outil prototype, conçu par SABIC Innovative Plastics, de toit panoramique (illustré ici) qui a permis de mettre en évidence les solutions de conception de transition à mettre en œuvre par les équipementiers, afin d’obtenir une qualité de surface et des rendements lors du traitement de surface en revêtement humide « wet-coat » et plasma les meilleurs possibles. Ces solutions sont disponibles.

HELMETS FEATURING DYNEEMA® HB26 ARE CHOSEN BY SOUTH KOREAN ARMY AS LIGHTEST-WEIGHT SOLUTION FOR FRAGMENT PROTECTION
URMOND (NL), 20 October 2008 - To obtain the optimum combination of fragment-stopping performance and light weight, the Republic of Korea has selected protective helmets featuring Dyneema® HB26 material for its army. The 24,000 helmets, manufactured by Samyang Comtech in Seoul, offer up to 20 percent weight savings compared to conventional aramid helmets, together with a higher ballistics performance when using the v50 test. This significant program is a volume milestone for Dyneema® HB26 in a helmet application, and demonstrates the acceptance of the material based on its excellent fitness for use in helmets. To support growing demand for its ballistics protection materials, as evidenced by the South Korean Army’s large order, DSM Dyneema is on plan to significantly boost capacity for Dyneema® UD (unidirectional) composites used in life protection. Additional capacity in both yarn and UD (unidirectional) material has been brought on stream at its Greenville, North Carolina, facility. DSM Dyneema is on target to double global capacity for UD in 2009, as part of a USD $450 million investment announced earlier.
