by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The M60 multimedia cell phone by Amoi Electronics is built to handle the roughest of conditions. Through the use of a new grade of glass-fiber and Lexan EXL resin, the phone has a very high-impact strength.
Amoi Electronics designed its new M60 multimedia cell phone to deliver outstanding aesthetics, durability, and reliability, even under the roughest of handling conditions.
The company achieved these design goals with help from a new grade of glass-fiber (GF) reinforced Lexan* EXL polycarbonate (PC) resin from GE-Plastics.
Amoi, a leading manufacturer in China's electronics industry, selected GE's Lexan EXL4419 resin to provide high stiffness in combination with excellent impact strength and good paintability for the cover of its M60 phone.
Tough GE Lexan* EXL Resin Delivers Excellent Aesthetics & Impact Strength for New Amoi Mobile Phone Design.
"The design of our M60 mobile phone presented several challenges that traditional materials could not meet," said Letitia He, brand manager of Amoi Electronics Co., Ltd. "GE's new Lexan EXL resin gave us a high-technology materials solution that addressed all of our concerns and helped us to develop this innovative new phone product to address consumer demand."
The fiercely competitive cellular phone market is driven by consumer demand for more functionality without an increase in cost.
Formulated from glass-fiber reinforced PC copolymers, Lexan EXL resins support both trends by delivering a lightweight, impact-resistant alternative to conventional material solutions.
Their excellent flow performance also enables thin-wall construction, reduced cycle times, and improved yields.
