Company Launches new advanced resins for LED Lighting Thinner
Gauge Applications
BERWYN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Styron,
the global materials company and manufacturer of plastics, latex and
rubber, will showcase its plastics for the LED Lighting industry at Strategies
in Light Europe 2014 in Booth A14 at the M.O.C. Event Center in
Munich, Germany from October 21 – 23, 2014
Styron will also launch its EMERGE™ 8830 Advanced Resins, an innovative
material that balances transparency, flame retardancy and thickness –
three key performance properties necessary as the market continues to
move toward thinner gauge applications. The material is UL 94 rated V-0
at 1.0mm and 5VA at 2.5mm and is the next generation advancement in Styron’s
EMERGE™ 8000 series.
Styron offers a broad portfolio for LED Lighting Applications under the
CALIBRE™ Polycarbonate Resins and EMERGE™ Advanced Resins brands. This
includes transparent, light diffusion and ignition resistant grades used
in lenses, optics, diffusers, reflectors and housings.
During the show, Styron’s Global Director of Research & Development from
North America, Tony Samurkas, will discuss Materials for LED Lighting
Application. The presentation will take place on October 23rd
in Room K4 at M.O.C. Center.
“Styron’s global footprint is truly an advantage in the LED Lighting
market,” said Global Business Director, Philippe Belot. “We have
technical and production resources that allow us to coordinate
application development, product availability and technical support
worldwide and this is especially critical since applications are often
specified in one region and manufactured in another.”
Styron previously announced plans to change the name of all Styron
affiliated companies to Trinseo, NYSE: TSE. Some, but not all, of the
Styron companies have completed the name change process and are
currently known as Trinseo; Styron companies that have not completed
this process will continue to do business as Styron until their
respective name changes are complete. Styron's operating companies also
continue to do business as Styron at this time.
