UPM ForMi biocomposite replaces plastic as cover material in mobile phone microscope

摘要

The sustainable UPM ForMi biocomposite replaces plastic as the cover material in the mobile phone microscope. A Finnish technology company, KeepLoop, has tested a new pulp based material in the manufacturing of a microscope accessory for mobile phones. KeepLoop has found UPM ForMi material to be extremely competitive, "The new biocomposite is an excellent material in the injection moulding production. As a cover material it feels clearly softer and warmer than the traditional PC/ABS polymer plastic", Jaakko Raukola, the founder of KeepLoop, validates. Cooperation with KeepLoop is significant for UPM because the mobile phone microscope may bring new prospects to the UPM ForMi in consumer electronics and in consumer optics.
