GE Plastics Group held a global launch in Shanghai to assist Chinese electronics manufacturers in coping with WEEE/RoHS Internet access time: May 4, 2006 I will comment on [font size: large, medium and small] Key words: RoHS WEEE GE Plastics Group Author: Wang Yan GE Plastics Group recently held a new product launch for business/consumer electronics in Shanghai, including Lexan DMX2415 for MP3, mobile phones and Cycoloy CX7010 for TV applications, it also introduced its "Green Creations (ecomagination)" program to ensure that customers' products meet environmental requirements. As a global supplier and distributor of engineering plastics, GE Plastics manufactures and markets high-performance plastic particles, films and sheets for a wide range of industries, including automotive (instrument panels, fenders), office equipment (displays, printer housings), communications (mobile phones, etc.), electrical and lighting products (circuit breakers, switches), optical media (CDs, DVDs), construction and engineering. "Almost every mobile phone in the world has more or less adopted GE Plastics Group products." GE Plastics Group Lexan and Cycoloy business Pacific general manager Bai Ruihan (Harry Boot) said that from the business/consumer electronics business revenue has accounted for 15% of GE Plastics Group's business revenue, and this does not include from the electrical/electronics business. Robert B. Johnson, the company's Pacific technology program manager, said that the business/consumer electronics business is the second-largest source of business for GE Plastics after the automotive segment. In 2005, GE Plastics Group's global business revenue reached $6.6 billion billion, 3 billion of which came from the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, Johnson particularly stressed that $1 billion of the total came from China. The world's first Lexan DMX2415 is a highly scratch-resistant plastic resin. It can be used for mobile phone display, PC display, etc. Since there is no need for secondary painting, this will greatly help electronics OEMs reduce costs. Johnson said that many customers have adopted this product for the manufacture of MP3 and mobile phone products. In contrast, the Cycoloy CX7010 is aimed at TV applications. Especially for the size of the increasingly large screen TV products. According to reports, compared with previous products, Cycoloy CX7010 not only improves the fluidity (Flow Length) by nearly 20%, but also is a bromine-free, halogen-free electronic product material that meets RoHS and WEEE standards. In fact, in the previously launched Cycoloy CX7240, GE Plastics Group has introduced an environmentally friendly flame retardant concept that does not contain bromine halogen and complies with the above regulations. These are all part of GE Plastics' "Green Creator" plan. In addition, Bai Ruihan also said that GE is actively working with electronic customers to recycle plastics related to electronic waste products. In addition, they are working with many Chinese electronics OEMs, including Lenovo, to tailor-make plastic resin products for electronics manufacturing. Johnson revealed that GE Plastics has developed a plastic resin with electrical conductivity and electronic shielding. This is good news for automakers as the ever-expanding automotive electronics ICs and internal buses are increasing the weight of cars. In China, GE Plastics has established three production bases in Shanghai, Zhongshan, Guangdong, and Nansha, Guangdong.
