(pressreleasefinder) -- DSM has recently introduced its new thermally conductive thermoplastic polyester for such components, as foglamp housings, lens holders and AFL (Adaptive Forward Lighting) frames. In addition, as future LED Lighting systems do get more efficient and consume less power, this material will offer weight and cost saving potential for these electronics driven systems as well by its unique combination of heat management, mechanics and high dimensional stability. It is also suitable for numerous types of automotive electronic components.
The new grade, available worldwide, is a further development of Arnite PET-XL, which DSM successfully introduced in 2009. Both products are based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and are highly suitable for engineering applications. In developing Arnite PET XL-T, DSM has matched in extensive experience in thermoplastic polyesters for high performance, high precision applications, with detailed understanding of material properties as diverse as thermal conductivity and outgassing.
DSM delivers innovative solutions that nourish, protect and improve performance in global markets such as food and dietary supplements, personal care, feed, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, automotive, paints, electrical and electronics, life protection, alternative energy and bio-based materials.
