Let the Music Play On: Lexan* Resin Helps Protect Holiday Electronics
BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — December 14, 2006 — They’re primo on holiday wish lists; they’re pricey; and they’re precious to their owners. So after unwrapping an iPod or MP3 player that may cost upwards of $450, it’s important to safeguard these surprisingly delicate devices from being dropped, banged, or stepped on. Dozens of companies offer protective and stylish covers and cases for iPods – and the majority rely on the toughness, scratch resistance, and light weight of GE’s Lexan* polycarbonate.

GE’s New Ultem* 5000B Film Offers High-Performance, Cost-Effective Option for Range of Electrical/Electronic Applications
BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — November 20, 2006 — For electrical/electronics (E/E) manufacturers that previously faced the dilemma of choosing between the high cost of specifying polyimide (PI) to achieve desired performance, or downgrading an application by using lower-performing polyethylene napthalate (PEN) or polyester (PET), there is now a solution. New Ultem* 5000B film from GE Plastics offers excellent high performance coupled with cost-effectiveness. Based on GE’s Ultem polyetherimide (PEI) resin, this material’s high temperature and flame resistance, low moisture absorption and excellent dielectric properties make it an excellent candidate for E/E applications such as insulating tapes and laminates, diaphragms and voice coils for loudspeakers, high temperature bar code labels and flat flexible heaters. Ultem 5000B film is available in black and amber and in gauges 25µm - 750µm.
BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — November 16, 2006 — GE Plastics today announced the launch of Extem* thermoplastic polyimide (TPI) resins, a new family of amorphous polymers that provide exceptional performance, while eliminating the drawbacks of semi-crystalline materials, imidized thermosets, and competitive amorphous thermoplastics. GE’s Extem resins deliver a powerful combination of melt processability and ultra-high thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties. They meet growing industry demand for easy-to-produce parts that can withstand ever-higher temperatures and harsh chemical environments, and remain stiff and dimensionally stable in extreme temperatures. In addition, GE’s Extem resins are inherently flame-retardant without the use of halogenated additives that can pose an environmental risk.
