More Decrease LED Temperature, Increase Value Learn how polymers and design help manage heat in LED applications. More Heat Dissipation Solution One manufacturer cut heat sink costs and improved agility for LED lighting assemblies by replacing aluminum. More LED Heat Sinks A shift from metal drives an improved product line for one component manufacturer.

Fiber reinforced composites are a popular material of choice for reliable performance, providing high flexural strength and excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and chemical exposure. With a high-heat flat spring option, manufacturers can potentially reduce overall conveyor system costs compared to higher priced coil spring systems.
