Resin replacement aluminum LED lamps are more light and durable

[China Aluminium Network] Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) Business Unit - SABIC Innovative Plastics Provides New Type of LED Made of High-Performance Cycoloy and Lexan Resins to Leading Solid-State LED Lamp and Fixture Manufacturer, Brite Pointe Lighting equipment helped them achieve a major technological breakthrough.

Brite Pointe in Haiwo, California, chose advanced resin technology to replace traditional aluminum because of its light weight, high performance, and high degree of design freedom. These advantages are for integrated thermal management systems (patent pending). Indispensable.

Thanks to SABIC's materials, Brite Pointe's Hy Beem Mining LED downlights for commercial and public buildings can reduce energy consumption by 65% ​​compared to high-pressure gas discharge lamp (HID) fixtures and fluorescent lamps, extend its life by five times, and reduce maintenance. cost. Resin materials can give LED luminaire designers greater freedom of design, enabling them to break new barriers to traditional materials (such as metals) and adopt new design methods. Founded in 2006, BritePointe advocates the use of patented technology to manufacture extremely bright LED lamps.

Brite Pointe CEO Tom Griffin said: "SABIC's rugged, lightweight and versatile materials are the ideal solution for our LED design."

Developing LEDs for broader applications Manufacturers are shifting from the use of metals and other traditional materials to taking full advantage of plastic materials. These advantages include component integration and design freedom, lightweight, high strength and durability, eliminating secondary operations and having a wide range of aesthetic design options.

Brite Pointe chooses a gray Cycoloy C6600 polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (PC/ABS) resin for a two-inch diameter heat sink coil shell that radiates heat to the HyBeem fixture and fixes the top of the fixture The lid provides transparent Lexan FXDPC resin. The design flexibility of Cycoloy resin allows Brite Pointe to use sophisticated solutions built into the thermal management technology (patent pending) of fixture fixtures. In-mold coloring avoids the cost and environmental impact of secondary coloring.

Selecting Lexan FXD resin in this application indicates that the PC can be used in new LED applications such as lenses, covers, and mirrors.

Cycoloy PC/ABS blends are compatible with the excellent processing properties of ABS and the excellent mechanical properties of polycarbonate. With its low temperature impact toughness, good high temperature resistance, and excellent dimensional and color stability, these unique materials set an excellent standard in the industry. Lexan Polycarbonate was invented by Dr. Dan Fox in 1958 and is the world's leading engineering thermoplastic. It is compatible with many high-performance features, including excellent pressure resistance, excellent dimensional stability, and long-lasting weatherability. Sex and high transparency.

"The successful application of Hy Beem products demonstrates that SABIC high-performance materials play an important role in the development and product diversity of LED lighting industry. Resins and composite materials are used to optimize the design of LED products," said Heath Schmid, director of PC marketing for SABIC Innovative Plastics. Performance has made significant contributions, including optimizing light transmission and thermal management, improving aesthetics to attract end consumers, and enhancing product environmental friendliness. The cooperation with Brite Pointe has resulted in a new selection of mining lighting."
