A SABIC Innovative Plastics dá mais vida aos painéis e vidros transparentes de janelas automotivas com a nova tecnologia Exatec* E900 Grafx, pois permite gráficos modernos surpreendentes
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Holanda – 12 de novembro de 2008 – O potencial gráfico das janelas automotivas sempre foi tentador para os projetistas – que viam os painéis e janelas transparentes como telas em branco – deixarem sua criatividade fluir. Agora, a SABIC Innovative Plastics oferece uma abordagem completamente nova para a decoração de janelas, que envolve projetos coloridos recém-criados, com possibilidades de diferenciação na estilização da marca. A tecnologia Exatec* E900 Grafx, que traz o filme de policarbonato (PC) Lexan*, permite a criação de cores e efeitos de estilização exclusivos, tais como as atuais tintas coloridas com aspecto metálico para carroceria. A SABIC Innovative Plastics oferece às montadoras e aos tiers globais o mais amplo portfólio de painéis e vidros transparentes, nos mais altos padrões de qualidade e inovação incomparável.

SilCool* TIG 210 BX thermal management grease from Momentive Performance Materials provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for automotive electronic applications.
LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY — NOVEMBER 6, 2008
Thermal management is becoming increasingly important for automotive electronics as under-the-hood temperatures continue to rise and the amount of electronics is growing. Hybrid cars are particularly affected. Engineers are looking for cost competitive thermal management solutions that can remove the heat from increasingly sensitive electronic components. Thermal greases are often considered but due to concerns about “bleed-out” and long term reliability, engineers may end up selecting higher cost options. Momentive Performance Materials recently introduced SilCool TIG 210 BX, a thermally conductive grease that provides “low bleed” and low thermal resistance for applications where thin bond lines are required. In addition to thermal conductivity (2.1 W/mK), this material offers stable performance, which is typically required for automotive applications, such as an engine control unit. The images (MPMPR025a) show the “low bleed” performance and the thermal shock stability of a 45° mounted test specimen.

SABIC Innovative Plastics’ New Lexan* Thermoclear* Sheet Offers Superior Thermal Insulation for Glazing, Helping Customers Reduce Energy Costs
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – November 7, 2008 – The cost of heating and cooling is reaching new levels, causing builders to look for new alternatives to increase the energy efficiency of residences and commercial buildings. A traditional route is installing multi-pane glass windows. However, besides being heavy, breakable and challenging to install, glass is falling behind in the drive for higher insulation values. To address these drawbacks, SABIC Innovative Plastics has developed a new 9-wall Lexan* Thermoclear* sheet as an excellent candidate for applications such as flat glazing of sunrooms, conservatories, and rooflights, shopping centers, office buildings, and factories. This new glazing solution can not only help customers reduce heating and cooling costs, but also cut energy usage and CO2 emissions to benefit the environment. SABIC Innovative Plastics’ high-performance Lexan Thermoclear sheet products give the building and construction industry new ways to meet demands for increased energy efficiency in living and working environments.
