ISTANBUL, Turkey – Akboru Elektrik, a leading supplier of lighting systems for pools, hot tubs and gardens, selected Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymers from PolyOne to replace aluminum for heat sinks in LED swimming pool lighting. LED lights are much more efficient than incandescent bulbs at transforming electrical power into light, but still generate considerable heat. The diodes that produce light in LEDs are sensitive to high temperatures.

When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene- styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS). A few grams of a TPE material can often make a major difference in the perceived quality of an item.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Light Stabilizers for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens Non UV-stabilized fibers exposed to sunlight can suffer color fading and molecular changes that degrade their chemical and mechanical properties, leading to fraying and breakages. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes light-stabilizing and UV-absorbing concentrates for the spin-dyeing process. CHEMISTRY Avient offers different types of light stabilizers for fiber applications: absorbers, quenchers and HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers).
