SABIC Innovative Plastics presenta la prima pellicola ignifuga non alogenata che consentirà ai produttori di componenti elettronici di raggiungere standard ambientali più elevati
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 6 maggio 2008 – Andando ben oltre le esistenti limitazioni ambientali, quali quelle imposte dalla direttiva RoHS (European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances), molti produttori di componenti elettronici di tutto il mondo stanno spontaneamente riducendo gli additivi alogenati nei loro prodotti, a grande vantaggio dell’ambiente. Contribuendo in questo senso, oggi SABIC Innovative Plastics presenta la pellicola EFR 735: si tratta della prima pellicola termoplastica prodotta senza l’utilizzo di ritardanti di fiamma bromurati e clorurati. La pellicola EFR 735 è la riprova di come SABIC Innovative Plastics collabori a stretto contatto con i clienti per creare materiali eco-responsabili conformi sia con gli standard esistenti che con quelli futuri dell’industria elettronica. La nuova pellicola EFR è inoltre l’ideale per i dispositivi sempre più piccoli e sottili che si stanno attualmente diffondendo sul mercato, assicurando alte prestazioni anche in caso di spessori molto ridotti.
