LED lights are much more efficient than incandescent bulbs at transforming electrical power into light, but still generate considerable heat. As a result, aluminum heat sinks are often used to draw heat away from the diode to extend its performance over time. PolyOne’s Therma-Tech thermally conductive materials provided Akboru Elektrik with the solution to oxidation problems on metal heat sinks.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives: including Non-Halogen Flame Retardant and Heat Preservation Solutions, offer long-term flame retardancy at low dosages to make fibers more resistant to ignition and control flame propagation, smoke, and heat generation without impacting color. Solutions for heat preservation can absorb more heat when exposed to solar rays or transfer human energy radiation into heat. Avient can also provide a wide range of functional additives such as ultraviolet (UV) stabilization, antistatic performance, flame retardancy, antimicrobial effectiveness, fiber tracer concentrates, heat preservation, cool-feeling additives, and more.  

PolyOne supported the design and production engineers at Sylumis with thermal simulation and mold filling analysis to help the manufacturer optimize the geometry, heat transfer and manufacturability of the heat sinks. The Therma-Tech conductive formulation selected for these LED lamps outperforms aluminum, the material traditionally used in heat sinks, with a 25% increase in heat exchange surface area and a 9% reduction in weight.

High heat and chemical resistance Heat Sink Material for LED Therma-Tech™ provides thermal and electrical conductivity for high powered LED heat sink

Colorant Chromatics™ Metallic Sulfone Pre-colored Colorants are developed for ultra-high heat and high-performance applications requiring a brilliant metallic finish. Developed for ultra-high heat applications Achieve high heat resistance and bright, vibrant colors.

Dissipates heat and reduces shaft wear   Flame and heat resistant, an excellent textile yarn for fabrics Lightweight, strong and durable, with good heat, flame and chemical resistance

Colors may be selected maximize or minimize heat retention and additives can be formulated to help film resist the degrading effects of sunlight, heat, moisture and agricultural chemicals. Greenhouse film must remain strong and flexible, even after months or years of exposure to intense sunlight, heat and humidity. These include colors that help control light transmission and heat retention.

The printer can then use an ink set that will react much like the colors on his the computer monitor, thus pulling printer and designer onto the same page.

With better heat and crush resistance versus foamed PE and FEP, Maxxam SY formulations also include options for 'zero halogen, low smoke and fume.' Crush and heat resistance Discover two distinct advantages over regular polyethylene: greatly-improved heat resistance and oil resistance

It measures how well a material absorbs energy in the form of heat but does not measure how well it releases the heat. In contrast, thermal inertia measures how quickly a material returns to ambient temperature after heating. THE BOTTOM LINE Barrels made with Composite Heat Release technology can be lighter, heat slower, and cool faster than traditional steel or carbon-wrapped steel barrels.
