Lubrizol Demonstrates Integrated Technology Solutions for Highly Flexible Electronics at 2018 IDTechEx Show
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct 31, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - The Lubrizol Corporation announces that its Engineered Polymers business will exhibit in booth N28 at IDTechEx Show! on November 14-15, 2018 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. The IDTechEx Show! presents the latest in emerging technologies covering 3D Printing, Electric Vehicles, Energy Storage, Graphene, Internet of Things, Printed Electronics, Sensors and Wearable Technology. Following the theme of the event, Lubrizol will be "Connecting Emerging Technologies with Global Brands" by showcasing innovative technologies from its Engineered Polymers and Performance Coatings businesses. These technologies are especially well suited for Electronics including flexible hybrid electronics, wearables, mobile devices and accessories, and 3D printing.
To demonstrate the value of integrating solutions from across its broad range of technologies, Lubrizol will unveil its custom-designed Multi-Tech Commuter (MTC) jacket prototypes for show, touch and tell with event attendees. Designed for stylish and functional street-to-office wearability, the MTC jacket features Lubrizol materials that ensure function, comfort and durability over the life of the garment.
Engineered for comfortable motion and mobility, stretch denim and polyester fabrics move and breathe with the wearer. A flexible circuit heating element across the inside of the jacket's back provides warmth on demand, perfect for environments with large temperature swings or for comfortable dashes from commute-to-indoors - without the bulk of additional clothing layers. Fabric treatment at the elbows and palms enhances garment durability, while stretch-restrictive coating printed over the electrically conductive traces protects the circuits in-use and during laundering.
The technology behind Lubrizol's Multi-Tech Commuter jacket's performance includes:
- Stretchable, flexible printed circuits with high performance Estane(R) Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Films and Flexible Ink Additives - Comfortable stretch denim fabric and inner liner enhanced by X4zol-J(TM) TPU fibers - Electronic connector housing, 3D printed using Estane TPU for stretch and impact resistance - Conductive trace protection through Performax(TM) conductive ink coatings - Superior durability and wear resistance through Performax fabric treatment coatings
Individually, each of these innovative technologies contributes significant benefits that enable functionality as well as the form, fit and fashion that are in strong demand in Highly Flexible Electronic applications. By bringing these technologies together, Lubrizol serves as a single convenient source of technology and application know-how, backed by a culture that thrives on collaboration.
