ISTANBUL, Turkey – Akboru Elektrik, a leading supplier of lighting systems for pools, hot tubs and gardens, selected Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymers from PolyOne to replace aluminum for heat sinks in LED swimming pool lighting. LED lights are much more efficient than incandescent bulbs at transforming electrical power into light, but still generate considerable heat. The diodes that produce light in LEDs are sensitive to high temperatures.

Avient’s customer-focused ColorNow™ digital service uses a mobile app at its core with structural enhancements around it, such as a portable light booth for color matching based on a physical target. In particular, it addresses the differences between the optical properties of molded plastic parts and electronic displays, the different standards used in the electronic display industry versus the surface color industry, and the problem that feasible colors in molded plastic parts have a diverse range compared to those that can be shown by electronic displays. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Let’s take a closer look at the differences between the thermoset and thermoplastic polymers that play a critical role in determining the performance characteristics of the final composite product. Thermoplastics used in making composites range from polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) to polyester, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).
