SABIC Innovative Plastics’ Tough Lexan* Sheet for Train Window Frames Helps Plexx Stay on Track with Lower Costs and Streamlined Production
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – November 9, 2010 – At K 2010, SABIC Innovative Plastics today announced that its new ultra-tough, flame-retardant (FR) Lexan* F6000 polycarbonate (PC) sheet has been chosen by Plexx AS, a leading Norwegian plastics converter, to thermoform the first European passenger train window frames. The frames will be used in Norwegian State Railways train cabins. This advanced, tailor-made PC material replaces sheet molded composite (SMC) for significantly improved performance and faster cycle times, while avoiding the multiple secondary operations required for SMC. SABIC Innovative Plastics is helping customers succeed in the highly competitive transportation sector with advanced solutions that provide high performance, system cost savings, and superior end-product differentiation vs. thermoset materials. The company is exhibiting at K 2010 in Hall 6, Stand D42.
