Face-Saving Material Protects and Prevents
When your business is protecting workers from industrial accidents, protection and prevention go hand in hand. That’s why Fibre-Metal face shields are made from Eastman Chemical Company’s Tenite® acetate propionate—it delivers a unique combination of chemical resistance, toughness and optical clarity not found in typical face shields. These shields go beyond the impact resistance of ordinary face shields to include zero optical distortion, which prevents accidents resulting from poor visual perception.
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands — Feb. 2, 2004 — In the 51st year since the discovery of LEXAN® polycarbonate (PC) by GE scientist Dr. Daniel W. Fox, GE Advanced Materials is once again expanding its product offerings based on this highly versatile resin technology. Two new grades of the company’s toughened LEXAN EXL polycarbonate/siloxane resin have been added to the growing resin portfolio: LEXAN EXL 9112 resin and LEXAN EXL 1434 resin. These products provide various levels of flame retardancy that help address eco-label needs along with high flow, broad chemical resistance, and enhanced weatherability. They are a potentially strong fit for use in portable electronics, converged devices, telecommunications, and handheld computer applications. The new materials join LEXAN EXL 9330 and LEXAN EXL 1414 resins, two previously introduced LEXAN EXL resin products.
