on April 30, 2015, more than a year after Zhejiang hongrenyuan company fully launched the E-MARK, Microsoft announced at the build 2015 developer conference held in San Francisco (USA), that its latest operating system, windows 10 Evonik, had developed a new special molding composite: Plexiglas high gloss NTA (5) a new browser with the built-in code of "project Spartan" was officially named "Microsoft edge".
