Light Fittings: Know how and materials meeting current and future requirements

Cost effective and safe materials solutions for a wide temperature range

• Materials offered comply with IEC/EN 61184, 60238, 60400 or 60838-1, according to specific application, as per needle flame test (e.g. self extinguishing within 30 seconds)
• High productivity facilitated. DSM materials have consistent quality and excellent processing for high speed manufacturing.
• Design optimization support:
- applications know-how for end use performance
- CAE for tooling and manufacturing efficiency

Stanyl® delivers up to 25% system cost reductions for fittings compared to PPS

• Thinner wall sections and lower density
• Eliminates flash and tool corrosion
• Faster cycle times, lower injection pressures require smaller machines, more cavities per tool possible.
• Not affected by ROHS EC directive, no WEEE compliance costs.

Fittings in Stanyl® can be a cost effective solution to ROSH/WEEE compliant T210 requirements

Offering a single solution that allows fittings manufacturers to rationalize their portfolios, simplify logistics and inventory costs.

WEEE August 2005 directive:

Implications for fittings’ manufacturers

• Bromine containing flame retardant systems will require separate waste streams to meet the WEEE directive, can lead to doubling of the part cost.

• DSM can advise on solutions to reduce the costs of implementing this directive

• Alternative halogen-free systems are being developed with the required flammability performance, thereby avoiding WEEE compliance costs.
