Amorphous Materials

Aug. 24, 2006
Two new grades of amorphous materials, Radel LTG-3000 polyethersulfone and Udel LTG-2000 polysulfone, have been developed specifically for automotive lighting applications.

Both materials are capable of direct metallization, which eliminates secondary production operations and reduces system cost. The grades have been formulated to optimize both surface quality and functional requirements such as thermal resistance, impact, and flow.

Radel delivers higher temperature resistance, greater impact resistance, and higher melt-flow rates than conventional grades of polyetherimide. Udel provides an excellent surface appearance at temperatures to 175°C. Udel is designed for use in reflectors and bezels for headlamps, fog lamps, and park-and-turn lamps.
