La résine Lexan* DMX résistante à l'ammoniac de SABIC Innovative Plastics allonge la durée de vie des luminaires LED à économie d’énergie de Norka

Luminaire Luzern 38 de Norka, utilisant la résine Polycarbonate copolymère Lexan* DMX de SABIC Innovative Plastics>BERGEN OP ZOOM, Pays-Bas – 27 août 2010 – Norka, le leader allemand de la fabrication de systèmes d'éclairage, a choisi la résine copolymère de polycarbonate (PC) Lexan* DMX de SABIC Innovative Plastics pour sa nouvelle ligne de luminaires tubulaires Luzem 38 à diodes électroluminescentes (LED). La résine Lexan DMX résiste au milieu hostile et riche en ammoniac dans les environnements tels que les étables, les cages et autres enclos d'animaux, permettant à Norka de créer un produit d'éclairage spécifique pour ce marché niche. Contrairement aux PC traditionnels, la nouvelle résine Lexan DMX offre une clarté exceptionnelle, une résistance à la perte de transmission lumineuse et à la fragilisation due à l'exposition prolongée à l'ammoniac et apporte un allongement de la durée de vie du luminaire et participe indirectement à la réduction de la consommation d'énergie. De cette approche unique, Norka et SABIC Innovative Plastics ont renforcé leur coopération de longue date et démontré la valeur ajoutée de l'innovation permanente apportée dans le domaine des copolymères de polycarbonate.
