L’azienda cinese Leedarson stabilisce il trend nel settore dell’illuminazione a LED grazie a dissipatori di calore bianchi ed eleganti costruiti col composto LNP* Konduit* di SABIC Innovative Plastics

Lampade retrofit a LED di Leedarson Lighting che impiegano il nuovo composto bianco LNP* Konduit* di SABIC Innovative Plastics per i dissipatori di calore>BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 7 marzo 2011 – SABIC Innovative Plastics ha annunciato oggi che Leedarson Lighting, costruttore leader end-to-end di prodotti per l’illuminazione con etichetta depositata e fornitore di soluzioni a risparmio energetico, ha scelto il composto a conduzione termica LNP* Konduit* in una nuova formulazione di colore bianco per costruire i dissipatori di calore per due delle sue lampadine retrofit a diodo a emissione luminosa (LED). Leedarson, che ha sede a Xiamen, in Cina, utilizza il nuovo composto LNP Konduit in sostituzione dell’alluminio presente in tali dissipatori di calore allo scopo di raggiungere alcuni obiettivi fondamentali: colore bianco elegante e stabile al calore che non necessiti di una verniciatura secondaria, maggiore produttività grazie all’uso dello stampaggio a iniezione e conformità ai requisiti settoriali relativi all’isolamento elettrico. Unendo un’estetica di livello superiore e vantaggi produttivi a eccezionali prestazioni di dissipazione del calore, il composto LNP Konduit è in grado di contribuire a promuovere l’applicazione dell’illuminazione a LED e ad ampliarne i vantaggi legati al risparmio energetico e al ridotto impatto ambientale.
