la vendita delle lampadine a incandescenza e di bloccarne la produzione a Settembre 2012. The LED lighting market is growing thanks to the decision of 'the European Union to ban the sale of incandescent bulbs, blocking its production in September 2012. This decision was made ​​primarily for the European desire to improve the energy efficiency of 20% by 2020: in fact the old bulbs convert only 5% of the electricity they consume into light. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the adoption of LED lighting over the next 20 years will save about $ 120 billion and a reduction of 246 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. avverrà soprattutto tra il 2012 ed il 2015. In addition, the estimates imply that initially the strongest growth will cover the lighting market for commercial buildings, while the growth of efficient lighting market of residential buildings will be mainly between 2012 and 2015.

The manufacturers of lighting systems are then looking for materials to help them make this transition less invasive (and expensive) as possible. To this end, one of the largest corporations in the world, has developed a new thermally conductive polymer to help this market to meet consumer demand.

, funzione indispensabile per le applicazioni dei LED: questo policarbonato termo conduttivo viene utilizzato per stampare il dissipatore al posto dell'alluminio , il materiale tradizionale per quest'applicazione, aiutando a ridurre i costi e aumentando la libertà di design nello sviluppo del prodotto. The innovative polymer is a polycarbonate formed by the combination of different polymers resistant to high temperatures, indispensable function for the applications of LED: this thermo-conductive polycarbonate is used to print the heat sink instead of aluminum, the traditional material for this application, helping reducing costs and expanding freedom of design in product development. . The cost reduction is due to several aspects: in the assembly steps are eliminated, is improved efficiency in production and is therefore reduced investment. The material is currently available only in black but you can use the in-mold decoration and painting, and optimizes the bonding techniques.

, nel settore dei trasporti , per i caschi e per le coperture dei fanali): questo nuovo materiale potrà trovare applicazione in altri settori industriali oltre che in quello dell'illuminazione, grazie alla resistenza al fuoco in classe UL94 con V-0 a 2,5 mm . Polycarbonates, in general, can be used for various applications (from the perspective of lenses for glasses and camera lenses, such as support for multimedia information, transport, and helmets for the lamp covers): this new material can find application in other industrial areas as well as in the lighting, thanks to the fire resistance class with UL94 V-0 to 2.5 mm.

The success of a product depends greatly on the choice of materials: do not risk, always entrusted to the experts!
