GE Plastics aggiunge le nuove resine conduttive Noryl GTX* alla crescente gamma dei prodotti ecomagination* dell'azienda
BERGEN OP ZOOM, PAESI BASSI — 8 maggio 2007 — Le resine conduttive Noryl GTX* di GE Plastics sono state ufficialmente inserite nella crescente gamma dei prodotti ecomagination* di GE. Questi nuovi materiali rispettosi dell'ambiente sono ottimizzati per la verniciatura a polvere: la loro natura conduttiva permette di evitare l’utilizzo di primer elettrostatici e e di conseguenza limitare l’immissione nell'aria di solventi e derivati potenzialmente dannosi per l’ambiente . Nelle applicazioni verniciate a polvere, le resine Noryl GTX possono sostituire i substrati in metallo, eliminando pretrattamenti chimici costosi e potenzialmente pericolosi offrendo una maggiore libertà progettuale. Inoltre, i differenti tipi di resina Noryl conduttiva consentono la verniciatura a polvere del componente in metallo e di quello in plastica nella stessa linea di produzione, garantendo economie di scala e uniformità d'aspetto.
