Para projetos de iluminação automotiva de qualidade, as novas resinas Lexan* Xtreme Heat da GE brilham com vantagens no desempenho, peso e processamento

Novas resinas Lexan* Xtreme Heat da GE Plastics para aplicações de iluminação automotiva de qualidade>BERGEN OP ZOOM, HOLANDIA – 6 lipca 2006 r. – À medida que as restrições para espaço e peso exigem componentes de iluminação mais compactos e lisos, os fornecedores de componentes automotivos procuram materiais que possam atender aos desafios de novos projetos, como temperaturas mais elevadas devido às proximidades aos bulbos e peças com parede mais fina, para redução de massa. Para atender a essa demanda, a linha de resinas Lexan* Xtreme Heat (XHT) da GE Plastics, uma das soluções Signature Surfaces* da empresa, oferece agora novas opções de materiais a projetistas de iluminação automotiva para suas aplicações mais complexas. As resinas Lexan XHT oferecem excelente resistência a deformação e mudança de cor sob condições de altas temperaturas e superam os materiais da concorrência nos aspectos potencial de reciclabilidade, densidade e características de fluidez de termofixos. Além disso, quando usadas em molduras de faróis e refletores, as novas resinas Lexan XHT possibilitam uma metalização direta, reduzindo os custos e o impacto ambiental resultante do pré-revestimento da peça com tinta ou laca.
