SABIC Innovative Plastics’ Non-brominated, Non-chlorinated Flame Retardant PC Film Helps E/E OEMs Power Up for High-End Eco Protection
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – April 14, 2010 – SABIC Innovative Plastics today launched a new, breakthrough Lexan* polycarbonate (PC) film technology – Lexan EFR film – that delivers non-brominated, non-chlorinated flame retardance (FR) at thinner gauges than flame-retardant polypropylene (FRPP). This new industry-leading material, announced here today at the Highly-functional Film Technology Expo in booth F10-43, enables electrical/electronics (E/E) OEMs to create flatter, lighter-weight notebook computers and other electronic devices while significantly reducing material costs, giving them a competitive advantage. The new Lexan EFR film is a top-choice environmental solution that increases the ability of global E/E manufacturers to go beyond current environmental directives by voluntarily eliminating halogenated additives in their products. This new SABIC Innovative Plastics breakthrough is the latest example of how the company works on behalf of customers to capitalize on its 75-year history as a global plastics industry pioneer.
