STRIX ADOTTA STANYL® DI DSM PER I CONNETTORI TERMICI UTILIZZATI NELLA NUOVA MACCHINA DA CAFFÈ ESPRESSO BODUM
Stanyl® TE250F6 di DSM Engineering Plastics, una poliammide 46 (PA46) rinforzata con il 30% di fibre di vetro e resistente alle alte temperature, è il materiale scelto per la combinazione interruttore/luce ed attuatore della Macchina per Caffè espresso Bodum. Dietro la fascia decorativa, un dispositivo termostatico attiva un’asticella che controlla la levetta di rotazione del sistema di controllo di riscaldamento dell'acqua della macchina da caffè Strix U44, saldato alla base dell’apparecchio. Poiché la levetta di azionamento in Stanyl è collocata necessariamente vicino alla fonte di calore della macchina da caffè, il design ha sfruttato le proprietà meccaniche di questo materiale. Queste includono un’elevata resistività elettrica di superficie e volumetrica, rigidità e resistenza a temperature fino a 140 gradi, resistenza alla fatica e stampabilità.

Antibacterial Electrical Products Available Now
Although we use many different switches every day not many people realize that the switches they touch can also transmit disease. Bacteria present on our hands is transferred to a light switch once we touch it, bacteria accumulate on the switch and propagate. The bacteria are then transmitted to the next person who touches the switch. There can be many transfers and transmissions of infectious diseases through this method especially in public location. Polygiene technology from Perstorp AB of Sweden has been proven to kill many bacteria on contact and by doing so helps break the transmission path of disease.
