Providing excellent chemical resistance and offering outstanding reflectivity of more than 85%, this product is set to transform the printed circuit board market for LED applications. The low energy consumption of LEDs offers potential to contribute to a cleaner environment.
Huntsman has also won a second joint award with Lamiflex in the Product category for the ‘Ciclotte’; an exclusive exercise bike made with high-tech carbon and glass based prepregs from Lamiflex, using a high-performance resin system from Huntsman.
The superior mechanical properties of the composite material, produced using an autoclave process, allowed Lamiflex to achieve objectives to produce an aesthetically pleasing product that is both compact, robust and at least 10kg lighter than similar exercise bikes.
The complex shapes that give the Ciclotte its particular aesthetic appeal are made possible through the application of composites and the specific manufacturing process used. Only the unique capabilities of this composite material system allow such cutting-edge designs to be realised.
