Move Over, Metal Why consider plastics in lieu of metal? High density polymer-metal composites are an ideal alternative to lead and other traditional metals

Replacing metal with PolyOne Therma-Tech™ conductive polymer enables Sylumis to manufacture the lamps more efficiently and with even more innovative designs. Transitioning from metal to specialty engineered polymer solutions helps our customers meet their goals for efficient manufacturing, innovative design and weight savings.” Quality, technical innovation and sustainability are the three pillars of our company, and collaborating with PolyOne on this metal replacement project helped us in all three areas,” added Jean-Luc Berthet-Bondet, director at Sylumis.
