CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT

Consider the words of the Mayan culture…“a new time will come”. What is this “new time”? How will we see it, recognize it, feel it? How will we experience it?

Light

Light changes bringing different illumination, but light is constant – fire, candle, lamp, lightbulb. The new “light” time is LED.

Benefits of LED use

Design flexibility, Full range of colors,

Range of Size, Lifetime, Efficiency,

THE VISUAL BENEFITS OF USING ENGINEERING THERMOPLASTICS WITH LED

Transmission of Light / Scattering of Light / Color of Light

Neutral diffusion white colors

• Combines transmission &scattering effect

• HIGH, MEDIUM, LOWin Visualfx* UV-resistantmedium flow Lexan* resin

Pale opalescent colors

• Less transmission through hiding power

• Pale blue in Lexan* copolymer resin with enhancedUV stabilization

NEED OTHER MATERIALS FOR LED AND CFL APPLICATIONS?SABIC Innovative Plastics’ broad portfolio can offer you more

The new Extem* Resin portfolio of amorphous thermoplastic polyimide (TPI) and

polyetherimide (PEI) resins

• Elevated thermal resistance up to 311 C Tg

• High strength, stiffness, and creep performance up to 230 C

• Broad chemical resistance including chlorinated solvents

• Eliminates draw-backs of semi-crystalline materials, imidized thermosets, and

competitive amorphous thermoplastics which can require post-molding curing or

crystallization

• Inherently flame-retardant without the use of halogenated additives that can posean environmental risk

Thermally Conductive Konduit* Compounds

• From 10 to 50 times more thermally conductive than conventional unfilled

thermoplastics,

• Konduit* compounds can conduct heat away from devices into a heat sink or the

surrounding air

• Designed to extend product life and enhance design freedom

Flame Retardant Starflam* Compounds

• Flame retardant (FR) compounds based on polyamide 6 and 6,6 (PA 6 and 66),

and PPA base resins

• Electrically insulative and can be formulated to meet many electrical norms,

including IEC 60695 (glow wire), UL 94, UL 508, NF16-101 and 16-102

• Halogen-free and red phosphorous-free

Lexan* XHT resin Standing up to High Heat

• Based upon unique high heat polycarbonate copolymer technology

offering greater thermal resistance than standard polycarbonate

• Improved processability, metallization, impact, thermal and UV stability

SPEAKING OF CHANGE…LET’S MOVE FROM LIGHT TOHEAVY MATERIALSMaterials with surprising sensory properties become more and more interesting.

What kind of feel, touch, weight, sound and temperature will a certain material have?

With which other material can you combine this – paint, glass, metal, TPE/TPU, leather?

Consider our Heavy Valox* FDA/FCEU resin

• Mimics the look, feel and weight of ceramics

• Made in Natural shades of grey
