PolyOne’s team worked with engineers at Halo Smart Labs to incorporate two Resilience LS materials that would meet tough UL flame requirements and improve light distribution without disrupting the initial design parameters. Resilience LS options include both housing and reflector materials that meet strict UL regulations up to 5VA for flame retardancy, and long term color stability to provide many years of lasting color.
