Le resine leggere Xenoy* e Lexan* di SABIC garantiscono un comfort assoluto al nuovo casco di protezione Versaflo™ serie M di 3M™
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 15 dicembre 2011 – Poiché il dispositivo di protezione risulta efficace soltanto se indossato, 3M™ ha progettato una nuova linea di elmetti e caschi ergonomici ed eccezionalmente comodi, realizzati con le resine leggere di qualità ottica Xenoy* e Lexan* OQ dell'unità Innovative Plastics di SABIC. La nuova linea di caschi con respiratore Versaflo™ serie M di 3M utilizza la resina Xenoy a base di policarbonato/polibutilentereftalato (PC/PBT) con colore personalizzato per la calotta del casco e il telaio della visiera. La resina ha consentito una progettazione a parete sottile, che ha permesso di ridurre il peso del casco del 15% - 20% circa rispetto ai precedenti prodotti 3M della serie L. La resina trasparente Lexan OQ PC utilizzata per le visiere garantisce inoltre ottime qualità ottiche e resistenza agli urti. Il rapporto di lunga durata tra SABIC e 3M testimonia l'impegno che SABIC dedica a mantenere una stretta collaborazione con i clienti, volta ad aiutarli a differenziarsi dalla concorrenza e a raggiungere il successo commerciale.
