Cool Polymers

Cool Shield LED Solutions

Parts molded by Cool Shield have shown significantly reduced surface and part temperatures in lighting reflectors.  Regardless of the source lamp, reflectors experience hot spots due to radiated heat.  Conventional plastic reflectors are thermal insulators and cannot spread or dissipate the energy.  Thermally conductive plastics act to sink the radiated energy in the mass of the reflector thereby reducing the temperature of the source. 

 

Temperature rise causes light distortion and reduces lamp efficiency and lifetime.  Even selecting  a high temperature polymer does not eliminate large temperature differentials and thermal expansion in the reflector.  LED applications are particularly sensitive, since brightness is a strong function of temperature.

 

Cool Shield can work with your engineers for custom options tailored to your application's requirements.  For more information, visit our list of services or call us toll free 888-883-1878, 401-739-7603 outside the US, or email sales@coolshieldinc.com
