Explore how our plastics can be used in lighting systems.
As the lighting industry grows and continues to shift towards increased lifetime and higher power requirements, so too does the need for greater material resistance against extreme heat and light. Some traditional plastic packages are prone to degradation of the plastic package. But not with DSM's high performance plastics. Their extreme high reflectivity levels and heat ageing properties combined with mechanical strength enable more efficient LEDs with longer lifetimes, leading directly to significant savings in energy, product lifetime, cost and carbon emissions.
Our plastics portfolio also integrates LED applications in automotive and consumer electronics with backlight display units (BLU); and all this is supported by specialist DSM support in LED socket design to ensure not only high output and durability, but also greater efficiency through improved heat management.
For a more traditional lighting applications, we also offer proven materials that add value to your lighting applications and help to reduce carbon footprint. We support the lighting industry with an experienced team of experts, all over the world.
Our dedicated teams work closely with customers to look at the entire process of developing new parts and components – whether it is a case of metal replacement, or developing solutions that are stronger, safer and more effective.
Our methodical approach extends to every step of the process, from design and material performance to production and compliance.
Discover the new high-performing plastic solutions for the extreme demands of next-generation example.
To ensure safety and part integrity, our high-performance plastics need to meet all of the relevant requirements for each application.
Improving on a part includes improving how it is produced. Whether we are helping you improve the production process itself, or reducing and eliminating secondary operations, we support you through the entire process.
Getting a part ready for commercialization includes ensuring compliance with the relevant regulations.
Light emitting diodes, or LEDs, are rapidly taking their place in all forms of lighting from reading lamps and to TV screens, through to automobile and street lighting. LEDs are setting designers free to create concepts that consume less energy than conventional light sources. We have Stanyl® ForTii™ and Arnite® as a material solution for reflective LED applications. Both in high temperature applications where materials have the resist the harsh environment of the reflow oven, as in medium temperature applications where the critical requirement is the long term resistance to the heat and radiation of the LED, breakthrough solutions are now available.
