Le nuove resine biocompatibili Lexan* di GE per il settore sanitario offrono livelli di resistenza all'impatto e alla sterilizzazione in autoclave e prestazioni di colatura e rilascio dallo stampo molto elevati

Dispositivo bilivello AutoSet CS2 di ResMed

I pannelli interfaccia utente dei dispositivi medici bilivello AutoSet CS2 & VPAPIII ST-A di ResMed Ltd si avvantaggiano di due materiali high-tech di GE per assicurare al settore sanitario prestazioni ed estetica eccellenti. Cutler Brands Pty Ltd stampa la grafica sul retro di un film in policarbonato (PC) Lexan* 8010 ad elevata brillantezza, che viene termoformato e tagliato secondo la forma dello stampo. Questa preforma viene poi sovrastampata con la nuova resina Lexan HP1HF per ottenere il pezzo finale decorato nello stampo. La resina Lexan HP1HF è uno dei prodotti più recenti di GE destinato al settore sanitario. Essa va a completare la linea già consolidata di prodotti sanitari in resina Lexan robusti e praticamente indistruttibili, comprendente tipologie resistenti alla sterilizzazione a raggi gamma, ETO e vapore, ai lipidi e ad altre sostanze chimiche e all'alta temperatura. Oltre ad offrire biocompatibilità e conformità al contatto con alimenti secondo le norme FDA, la resina Lexan HP1HF assicura eccellenti caratteristiche di lavorazione, ottimo flusso (37MFI g/10 min.) ed eccezionale idrostabilità. Le sue esclusive caratteristiche prestazionali la rendono il candidato ottimale per applicazioni sanitarie quali i dispositivi di somministrazione dei farmaci, le apparecchiature di monitoraggio e i componenti per l'erogazione di fluidi. BERGEN OP ZOOM, PAESI BASSI - 18 maggio 2005 - GE Advanced Materials ha presentato tre nuove resine di policarbonati (PC) biocompatibili che ampliano ulteriormente il già ricco portafoglio di soluzioni con materiali high-tech per applicazioni nel settore sanitario di cui dispone. Le resine Lexan* HPX8R, Lexan HPX4 e Lexan HP1HF vantano tutte eccellenti caratteristiche di resistenza, qualità meccanica e trasparenza che le accomunano agli altri prodotti della famiglia di resine Lexan PC. A questi materiali più recenti, tuttavia, va anche ascritto un ulteriore miglioramento in termini di fluidità e duttilità, nonché resistenza ancora maggiore all'impatto e alla sterilizzazione in autoclave.

GE Expands Illuminex* Diffuser Film Portfolio into Complete Solutions for LCD TVs, Notebook PCs, Auto GPSs and Monitors

GE Advanced Materials has announced it is expanding its Illuminex* diffuser film family of optical films for liquid crystal display (LCD) back-lighting applications into complete display solutions for applications such as televisions, notebook PCs, computer monitors, and automotive global positioning system (GPS) displays. These materials provide both top and bottom diffuser film solutions in LCD back-light modules to help enhance performance under demanding environmental reliability conditions and greatly expand GE’s wing-to-wing materials solutions capabilities for the global electronics industry. The high-tech GE diffuser films also offer key advantages over traditional coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films by eliminating the coating, which can experience failures from flaking, voids, and scratching of light guides, resulting in poor yields.
