QUADRANT EPP’S BOROTRON® ENHANCED HDPE PROVIDES RADIATION SHIELDING
Tielt, Belgium – June, 2007 – Borotron® from Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (Quadrant EPP) is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) formulation enhanced with 5% elemental boron that provides extra shielding against electromagnetic radiation. The combination of boron within a matrix of HDPE, a naturally hydrogen rich material, results in an ideal product in nuclear shielding applications. Both boron and hydrogen are very good at absorbing free neutrons.

MOLLE IN TPE DI ALTA PRECISIONE AL POSTO DEGLI ELASTOMERI TERMOINDURENTI NEI RESPINGENTI FERROVIARI
Tielt, Belgio – Giugno 2007 – Gli elastomeri termoplastici stanno prendendo il posto delle gomme tradizionali e dell'acciaio nelle molle ad alte prestazioni utilizzate nei respingenti e negli organi di trazione dei veicoli ferroviari. La società tedesca DUREL è all'avanguardia in questa tendenza, e fabbrica tamponi per molle ricavandoli da barre tonde e tubi realizzati da Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (Quadrant EPP) in polietere elastomerico termoplastico (TPEE) Arnitel® di DSM Engineering Plastics.

NEW THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE FROM QUADRANT EPP PROMISES ENGINEERING PLASTIC ADVANTAGES PLUS HIGHER LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL STRENGTH TO REPLACE METALS
Lenzburg, Switzerland – June, 2007 – Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (Quadrant EPP) has developed new technology for incorporating glass fibre reinforcement within polymer matrices to greatly enhance structural strength of a variety of engineering plastics in sheet and thick plate form. Because of the rigidity improvement possible, the new thermoplastic composites (TPC) will open the advantages of engineering plastics over metals and thermosets to applications where structural strength was a limitation in the past, or where the thickness of material required was cost-prohibitive.

I PANNELLI SANDWICH COMPOSITI SI DIMOSTRANO LA SCELTA IDEALE PER I SISTEMI DI CASSEFORME PER EDILIZIA
LENZBURG, SVIZZERA – Giugno 2007 – L'utilizzo di compositi ad alte prestazioni al posto del compensato può sembrare, a prima vista, eccessivo. Ci sono però buoni motivi per ritenere che le nuove casseforme prodotte dalla società tedesca Hünnebeck, uno dei principali produttori di casseforme e ponteggi a livello mondiale, segni l'inizio di una nuova tendenza nel settore.
