When Simula Technology, Inc. wanted a coating for the slide hinge component of its mobile phones, PDA phones, and smart phones, it chose VICOTE® Coatings, based on VICTREX® PEEK™ polymer, for its wear resistance, lubricity, bonding strength, and ease of processing to strengthen the durability of the slide hinge component. The innovative design passed the EU’s strict RoHS certification and helped Simula Technology successfully expand into the European market.
