Build on Therma-Tech thermally conductive polymer formulations,PolyOne Corporation has received the 2012 Ringier Technology Innovation Award for the Plastics Industry.These advanced materials have been recognized for their role in making sustainable LED innovations possible.
An independent panel of judges composed of experts from China's foremost industry associations,universities and research institutes selected PolyOne's new specialty material for recognition.The award specifically recognizes Therma-Tech thermally conductive grades for LEDs(launched at Chinaplas 2012)as an advanced solution that enables customers to differentiate their product offerings,improve manufacturing efficiencies and make future innovation possible.
Replacing metal heat sinks with these new materials makes it possible to consolidate parts and better manage hot spots,resulting in longer LED lifetimes as well as reduced weight,lower manufacturing costs,and improved in-service performance.
