SABIC presenta un futuro brillante per la tecnologia di strutturazione laser diretta grazie al nuovo composto LNP* Thermocomp* con colore personalizzabile

Alloggiamento del dispositivo portatile con funzionalità elettroniche e meccaniche integrate che sfrutta il nuovo composto LNP* Thermocomp* con colore personalizzabile di SABIC e la tecnologia LDS>BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 9 giugno 2011 – L'unità aziendale strategica Innovative Plastics di SABIC ha annunciato il primo nuovo composto termoplastico LNP* Thermocomp* con colore personalizzabile per la tecnologia di strutturazione laser diretta (LDS); tale composto consente di risparmiare spazio e di ridurre il peso dei dispositivi portatili. La tecnologia LDS è caratterizzata da un processo sofisticato che integra le funzionalità elettroniche e meccaniche in un unico modulo, come le antenne dei telefoni cellulari e dei computer portatili. In precedenza erano disponibili solo materiali plastici neri, che obbligavano i progettisti a relegare i componenti LDS all'interno del dispositivo. L'introduzione del nuovo composto LNP Thermocomp colorabile amplia enormemente le opzioni di progettazione dei dispositivi. L'introduzione di questo nuovo materiale dimostra la leadership innovativa di Innovative Plastic nelle tecnologie avanzate per la progettazione e la produzione dei dispositivi portatili del futuro.
