SQlab mise sur le Supersoft TPE pour une répartition optimale de la pression dans les cuissards
Le secteur du sport est en plein boom et il n’y a jamais eu autant de cyclistes sur les routes allemandes. Avec ou sans soutien électrique, se déplacer sur deux roues est devenu populaire. Comme raison, 85% des personnes interrogées (selon le Fahrrad-Monitor 2020) indiquent qu’elles veulent veiller à leur forme et plus des deux tiers mettent l’accent sur la protection de l’environnement. En parallèle, la demande pour des équipements de grande qualité, ayant un effet positif sur l’expérience cycliste, augmente. Et au premier rang: les cuissards. Ce vêtement doit être élégant, fonctionnel, et surtout bien rembourré. Que ce soit pour une course ou une longue randonnée: pour que le tour en vélo ne se transforme pas en torture, l’entreprise SQlab originaire de Munich mise sur le Supersoft TPE pour les nouveaux inserts dans ses pantalons. Elle a développé des coussinets d’une valeur extrême, ergonomique et présentant une grande longévité – pour que faire du vélo reste toujours un plaisir.

SABIC’s new LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ compounds deliver exceptional warpage control, laser welding capability allowing design freedom for improved signal transmission for ADAS radar covers
As urbanization propels the development of self-driving technology and broader implementation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), automotive OEMs and tiers are actively seeking high-performance materials that can optimize the capabilities of today’s higher-frequency (>75 GHz), millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar units. To help meet this need, SABIC is launching two new materials, LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ WFC06I and WFC06IXP compounds, developed for the front and back enclosure covers (respectively) of next-generation radar units. The new glass fiber-reinforced polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) grades offer a very low dissipation factor (Df) and dielectric constant (Dk) to help support the transmission of higher-frequency radar signals. They also feature super-low warpage that allows designers to potentially create new, thinner covers that improve signal transmission. Furthermore, these new SABIC products can contribute to efficient radar unit assembly by supporting high-speed, high-precision laser welding. In fact, LNP THERMOCOMP WFC06I compound provides excellent laser transmission performance among PBT materials currently available.
