THERMA-TECH™ THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE
FORMULATIONS combine the heat transfer and cooling
capabilities of metals with the design freedom, weight
reduction and cost advantages of thermoplastics.
While LED light bulbs can use up to 80 percent less
energy than incandescent bulbs, and last more than 20
years, they generate a substantial amount of heat that
must be dissipated with a heat sink.
Our Code of Conduct establishes a clear set of ethical
and behavioral standards for our business conduct.
