SABIC Innovative Plastics - SABIC Innovative Plastics Introduces Eco Responsible Computer Material Concepts at the 2008 Electronics Goes Green Conference

Valox iQ* Resin PelletsStore this angel in big sizeBERLIN – September 8, 2008 – With its proven, acceptable Valox iQ and Xenoy iQ* adhesive technology, SABIC Innovative Plastics is sparking new account to advice electronics manufacturers become added environmentally compliant. This material, which is acquired in allotment from post-consumer artificial waste, has been accurate in several above computer apparatus including centralized cooling fans, calefaction bore shrouds, connectors and alien bezel covers. In addition, Flexible Noryl* resins for cyberbanking base can aswell enhance eco-responsibility with halogen-free blaze retardance. SABIC Innovative Plastics’ investment in eco-responsible solutions provides electronics barter with new actual choices that will be presented today at the 2008 Electronics Goes Green Conference.

“Valox iQ resins aren’t just acceptable possibilities for greener electronics – they accept already been acclimated commercially in computer cooling fans,” said Hiroshi Yoshida, all-around bazaar director, Electronics, SABIC Innovative Plastics. “In addition, we’re accretion the iQ portfolio to beset added environmentally amenable abstracts such as Xenoy iQ* blends of billowing polycarbonate and semi-crystalline PBT resins, a acceptable advantage for housings and bezels. As a avant-garde of beat actual solutions, SABIC Innovative Plastics believes avant-garde articles such as iQ and Flexible Noryl resins can advice electronics manufacturers accomplish business success.”

Valox iQ polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resins accommodated requirements for halogen-free locations through the use of proprietary flame-retardant technology. Further, they are acquired in allotment from post-consumer artificial decay including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) baptize bottles, allowance abate the use of deposit fuels. They aswell cut action activity and CO2 emissions from plastics accomplishment by over 50 percent against added plastics in the bazaar today. In accession to allowance electronics manufacturers accede with ecology regulations such as the European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, Valox iQ resins can accommodated alternative actual alternative requirements in the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) that could advice OEMs accomplish a gold certification.

Today’s computers can accretion cogent eco allowances from non-halogenated, flame-retardant, Flexible Noryl resins for cyberbanking wiring. Noryl adapted polyphenylene ether (PPE) resins bear the adaptability and processing achievement of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) while abacus advantages of halogen-free blaze retardance, lower specific force and bigger abrade resistance. Flexible Noryl resins can alter PVC in a array of applications, including ability cords, SATA cables and DC cables. In accession to affair absolute regulations, such as RoHS and WEEE, the abstracts accept certifications beneath UL1581specifications for 80 C, 90 C, and 105 C and are acclimated commercially in a advanced array of cable configurations about the globe.

SABIC Innovative Plastics is presenting a affiche affair with Dell on Valox iQ and Xenoy iQ resins at the show.
