August 28, 2005 Virtually Unbreakable Plastics Resin for Automotive Windshields Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx News)--Polycarbonate plastics resin coated
with advanced glazing cutting-edge automotive technology unveiled at the
2005 World Exposition in Japan.
GE Advanced Materials and Exatec LLC unveiled their cutting-edge automotive
technology to the 2005 World Exposition, running from March through September
in Aichi, Japan. Sleek new lightweight windshields constructed from GE’s
tough, virtually unbreakable Lexan* GLX polycarbonate (PC) resin – and
coated with advanced Exatec* 900 glazing – provide a new view to the nine
electric vehicles, called COMS, patrolling the exposition grounds. The
vehicles are among 35 such transports supplied by Toyota Auto Body to
deliver first aid and security to the event’s expected 15 million visitors.
The new glazing technology – the Exatec 900 glazing system – is the fruitful
work of a joint venture between GE and Bayer that offers a highly weatherable,
lightweight glazing materials solution based on GE’s Lexan GLX PC resin.
In addition to providing outstanding impact strength and resistance to
chemicals and abrasion, GE’s advanced glazing solution enables visual
excitement with innovative finishes, functional integration of molded-in
features, and unprecedented design flexibility vs. glass for demanding
automotive OEMs looking to incorporate high-performance functionality,
optical quality, and aesthetics into automotive windows. The use of this material on the COMS is the first commercial
application of its kind and GE is working with customers across the globe
to drive new application opportunities in similar uses. GE’s Lexan polycarbonate glazing has commercial applications in several
vehicles including the Corvette Targa top and other major global OEMs.
GE Advanced Materials is a world leader in providing high-technology
material solutions. Headquartered in Pittsfield, Mass., its businesses
include Plastics, Silicones, Quartz, Automotive, Specialty Film & Sheet,
Polymershapes, and Sealants and Adhesives.
