A SABIC lança na NPE 2018 nova chapa moldável com verniz – hard coat, LEXAN™ MARGARD™ FHC, para vidros automotivos em conformidade com a norma de segurança ECE R43

Nova chapa LEXAN™ MARGARD™ FHC10 da SABIC, a mais recente solução no portfólio para vidros automotivos, pode ser utilizada para componentes vítreos moderadamente moldados em veículos de baixa produção, em que a moldagem por injeção apresenta uma relação custo-benefício inferior. Além disto, a manta LEXAN™ MARGARD™ FHC10 é um produto altamente versátil, que pode ser utilizado para envidraçamento não automotivo, como guarnições de máquinas, envidraçamento de cabines para equipamentos pesados e muitas outras aplicações normalmente formadas e pós-revestidas.ORLANDO, FLÓRIDA, 17 de maio de 2018 - A SABIC, líder global na indústria química, apresentou hoje na NPE 2018, no estande S19001, a chapa LEXAN™ MARGARD™ FHC10, a mais recente solução no seu portfolio para a aplicações em vidros automotivos. Esta nova tecnologia avançada foi projetada para atender aos rigorosos requisitos de visibilidade, durabilidade e resistência à abrasão da norma ECE R43 (Regulamento nº 43 da Comissão Económica para a Europa no quadro das Nações Unidas). Esta tecnologia possui uma base rígida de policarbonatos (PC) com qualidade óptica excepcional, em conjunto com um revestimento rígido moldável exclusivo, com pré-cura suficiente para permitir o processamento igual ao de uma chapa de PC tradicional. Além da conformidade com a norma ECE R43, a manta LEXAN™ MARGARD™ FHC10 permite a eliminação de operações de pós-revestimento, e dá a montadoras e sistemistas automotivos uma novíssima opção que permite a criação de projetos simples com vidros curvilíneos.
