A GE Melhorando a Segurança do Pedestre: Resina XENOY* da Empresa Ajuda a Redefinir Sistemas de Proteção a Impacto de Pedestre

Sistema de Segurança de Pára-Choques Dianteiros com Absorvedores de Energia Moldados com a Resina XENOY* da GE

Os novos sistemas de proteção contra impacto de pedestre que usam materiais de engenharia e inovações de design da GE Advanced Materials estão ajudando os fabricantes automotivos mundiais e fornecedores de auto-peca a projetar pára-choques dianteiros para veículos europeus que reduzirão a gravidade de ferimentos no pedestre quando do impacto. No conceito de segurança da GE, os absorvedores de energia moldados com a resina XENOY* da GE são colocados logo atrás do pára-choque dianteiro do veículo para amortecer possíveis impactos. A GE desenvolveu o conceito para atender a nova legislação da União Européia (UE) de proteção ao pedestre que entrará em vigor em 2005.

From Wing to Wing & Nose to Tail, GE Materials Technologies Bring High-Performance to Broad Range of Critical Aircraft Applications

Uses of GE Advanced Materials’ Plastics, Silicones, Quartz, and Ceramic Products for Aircraft Applications

From wing to wing and nose to tail, GE’s materials technologies bring high-performance to a broad range of critical aircraft applications. The increasing use of GE’s plastics, silicones, quartz, and ceramic products in the aircraft industry is being driven largely by the products’ ability to help the industry meet its key challenges of weight reduction; resistance to impact, chemicals, and heat; flame retardancy; outstanding smoke and toxicity properties; and overall high-performance. Supported by the exceptional depth and breadth of its renowned global research and development organization, GE is able to offer highly specialized materials that have been engineered with the specific combinations of properties required by different interior, exterior, mechanical, and systems components. BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — GE Advanced Materials is showcasing its latest product innovations for the aircraft interiors industry here at the Aircraft Interiors Expo, April 4 - 7, 2005. With the theme “Imagination at Work,” the company is featuring – in hall 6, stand C32 – high-performance engineering resin and sheet materials that have been designed to help enable development of next-generation aircraft interior components. Beyond interiors, GE also offers an impressive portfolio of plastics, silicones, quartz, and ceramic products that deliver critical properties in aircraft applications ranging from windshields, structural components, door and engine gaskets, seals for passenger window assemblies, and brake systems to weather stripping, fuel cell coatings, and lighting and wiring components.

Esta unidade de abastecimento de adblue, usado como reagente em veículos a diesel de grande porte equipados com SCR, a fim de cumprir com os requisitos das normas de emissão Euro IV, foi fornecida pela Dureal ™ e será dirigida a partir de Tortuga.

Owens Corning Introduces New SE 8400 Low Seed Single-End Continuous Roving for High-Voltage Applications

. PARIS, France: April 5, 2005 – At the JEC Composites Show, Owens Corning today introduced SE 8400 LS, a new single-end Type 30® roving to meet the demanding electrical requirements for such pultruded FRP applications as medium- and high-voltage transmission and distribution (T&D) long-rod insulators. SE 8400 LS combines the anti-corrosion, electrical, and mechanical benefits of boron free Advantex® E-glass manufactured using state-of-the-art glass melting technology and advanced low-seed filament technologies, ensuring seed levels well below .5 seeds/gram. Minimizing microscopic bubble voids or “seeds” in the glass avoids the formation of hollow filaments, which increase conductance, offering the path of least resistance to the electrical energy, and causing system failure.
