L'accresciuta complessità dell'illuminazione automobilistica a LED crea una domanda di tecnopolimeri nuovi e facili da stampare
La tendenza verso lo sviluppo di progetti di illuminazione automobilistica complessi ed intricati, basati su diodi luminosi (LEDs) ha creato una domanda di tecnopolimeri dotati di eccezionale scorrimento e facile sformatura dallo stampo. Alcuni elementi progettuali come l’integrazione di componenti e di funzioni, oppure parti dell’illuminazione anteriore o posteriore più larghi, ampi e sottili, come pure caratteristiche estetiche critiche richiedono materiali in grado di ottenere pareti sottili, uno stile aggressivo con angoli di sformo acuti, insieme ad un’estetica impeccabile. La gamma di policarbonato (PC) LEXAN™ di SABIC, ad altissima fluidità per le cornici dei gruppi ottici permette al settore di creare geometrie complesse ed integrare più componenti, in modi fino ad oggi incompatibili con la semplicità di fabbricazione.
