While LED light bulbs can use up to 80 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and can last more than 20 years, they generate a substantial amount of heat that must be dissipated with a heat sink.
The material added immediate benefits including: complex designs at lower costs than metal; lighter weight; inherent corrosion resistance; adaptability for ingress protection up to IP67; high heat resistance; compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability standards; and options for either electrically conductive or insulating properties.

These formulations provide electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding at a weight reduction of up to 40% as compared to aluminum, copper, and other metals.
EMI-shielding performance at frequencies from 30 MHz up to 2 GHz

The composite parts held up well, and passed stringent standards for long-term performance.
The final composite assembly is 17% lighter than the aluminum structure, while also upping the game on flexural stiffness and torsional rigidity.

Provides low shrinkage high processing speed up to 800m/min at low thickness, and strippability for micro-bundle applications
Gives high flexibility and thermal resistance up to 145°C when cross-linked via e-beam or with dry silane
These concentrates efficiently stand up to the performance needs of wire and cable

Mineral and vegetal pigments can be mixed together
to adjust color tones and match Pantone or other
standard colors.
A sophisticated mix of both pigments help deliver
natural aesthetics from opaque to transparent and
with a strong natural statement.

In addition, the formulations process with similar shrink to nylons, set up quickly, and have short cycle times.
The production of PK emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO₂) than nylon (PA66 and PA6).
