透明门屏幕电器

Miele寻找可以承受其新一代洗衣机和干衣机系列的苛刻洗衣清洁剂的材料，Miele转向Eastman Tritan™Copolyester，以获取电器的透明门屏幕。伊士曼化学公司（Eastman Chemical Company）最近与特里坦（Tritan）一起进入了Whitegoods市场，为品牌所有者提供了持久的耐化学物质选择，可提供消费者所需的出色清晰度和韧性。Tritan是一种提供这些属性及更多属性的新代材料，现在首次在洗衣机和烘干机组件上使用。Miele工艺开发材料技术负责人Gundula Wendrich说：“作为一家公司，我们拥有高标准的产品设计和功能，我们的客户期望我们的电器也是如此。”“In using Eastman Tritan™ copolyester for our newest whitegoods line, we not only meet both the customers’ aesthetic needs as well as functional needs for appliance components that can withstand harsh detergents, but also the safety needs imposed by EU harmonized standards for household and similar electrical appliance safety*.” The materials brand owners choose for their whitegoods can make all the difference. Premium materials provide thermal, mechanical and rheological characteristics necessary to create premium products that meet growing consumer needs. Using Eastman Tritan™ copolyester for whitegood components can help brand owners differentiate their products from others on the market. Tritan can be used in appliances for trays and ice storage in refrigerators; front-loading washers and dryers’ transparent door screens and control panels; vacuum nozzles and accessories; and control panels and interior components in dishwashers. “Although whitegood performance is a major sales driver, consumers also want smart functionality and elegant design,” said Tessa Slagter, market development manager, Eastman Chemical Company. “Eastman Tritan™ copolyester provides the appearance and durability needed in such appliances, and its attributes make Tritan a sound option over many competitive materials, including polycarbonate, acrylic, ABS and glass.” Miele, among the leading manufacturers of premium domestic appliances headquartered in Germany, is the first company to use Eastman Tritan™ copolyester for whitegoods. With new regulations driving appliance manufacturers to use plastic door screens, family-owned Miele turned to Tritan for its new-generation washer and dryer line. Eastman Tritan™ copolyester provides premium chemical resistance and can stand up to the highly concentrated, anti-bacterial detergents consumers use on and in their whitegoods, which can cause poor product performance over time. In addition, Tritan provides excellent clarity, allowing consumers to easily see into their front-loading washers and dryers. The material is extremely tough and able to withstand the daily grind of repeated washing cycles. Tritan also provides functional aesthetics and colorability, and is free of bisphenol A and styrene. In addition to the high-quality attributes of Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, brand owners who use the material also receive ongoing support from Eastman’s technical team. This includes primary and secondary processing support, design reviews and product testing. *EU harmonized standards for the low voltage directive (2006/95/EC), specifically 60335-2-7, particular requirements for washing machines, and 60335-2-11, particular requirements for tumble dryers.
