MOSCOW (MRC) -- Styron, the global materials company and manufacturer of plastics, latex and rubber, is showcasing its plastics for the LED Lighting industry at Strategies in Light Europe 2014 in Munich, Germany from October 21-23, 2014, as per the company's press release.
Styron also launches 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 UL94 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.
"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. 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.
As MRC reported earlier, in February 2014, Styron announced that it would be doubling its Solution Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SSBR) production capacity of one train, after reaching an agreement with material supplier JSR, to acquire its current production capacity rights at Styron’s world-scale rubber production hub in Schkopau, Germany.
