''Thermoplastic resins come in almost as many forms as there are ideas in the mind of a Mechanical Engineer. In the world of micro-molding, mission critical components often require exotic or highly engineered compounds.

Materials like PEEK, PEI (Ultem®), carbon filled LCP or glass filled nylons are commonplace. Soft durometer or elastomeric resins are also prominent. Direct experience with these materials in the context of micro-molding is another part of valuable know-how needed to maximize the performance of the resin/part design combination.''

''Polycarbonate (PC) resins in various optical applications for LEDs such as lenses, covers, tubes, pipes, diffusers and reflectors offer a good complement with improved clarity and the ability to withstand high temperatures.

LED technology is rapidly changing to meet market demands for higher brightness, improved aesthetics, lower costs and longer useful life. These trends have raised concerns about components of LED lighting fixtures. One issue is how to increase the durability of these components to match the exceptional – and growing – life span of the LED modules themselves.''
