Heat-resistant resin for LED applications
The LED is drawing great attention for its energy-saving feature. However, materials used in package manufacturing require thermal resistance, due to the need to apply high temperature. Furthermore, the reflector performance requires resistance to discoloration under heat and light. The heat-resistant resin of choice is GENESTAR. Due to the need for heat resistance in manufacturing, it is being used also in consumer products, such as connectors for mobile phone rechargers and notebook PC wirings, etc.
