Il fondo scocca per la sicurezza dei pedoni stampato con la resina Xenoy iQ* di SABIC consente alla Ford C-MAX di ottenere le cinque stelle Euro NCAP
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 23 agosto 2011 – La resina Xenoy iQ* prodotta dall'unità operativa strategica Innovative Plastic di SABIC è stata selezionata da Ford per l'impianto di sicurezza dei pedoni del veicolo multiuso (MPV) C-MAX 2011 e ha aiutato la casa automobilistica a ottenere la classificazione a cinque stelle dall'organizzazione indipendente per la sicurezza Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program). L'impianto di sicurezza dei pedoni della C-MAX è caratterizzato da un'innovativa progettazione del fondo scocca/sistema di protezione gambe che utilizza la resina Xenoy iQ di SABIC. Le proprietà fisiche intrinseche della resina Xenoy iQ la rendono estremamente adatta per l'impianto di sicurezza dei pedoni della Ford C-MAX. L'altissima duttilità della resina e la sua eccellente resistenza all'urto, combinate alla progettazione dei componenti, forniscono l'assorbimento di energia necessario per una migliore protezione in caso di impatto delle gambe. La resina attesta inoltre l'impegno di Ford nei confronti della sostenibilità, in quanto offre proprietà termoplastiche con emissioni di CO2 estremamente basse. Nell'insieme, l'utilizzo della resina Xenoy iQ dimostra come SABIC supporti sia l'impegno ambientale che prestazioni eccezionali.
