Science-based company Royal DSM has released PET XL-T, a thermoplastic polyester for thermal management in LED lighting systems and automotive electronics components.

According to the company, Arnite PET XL-T was developed as an alternative to metals and other high heat resistance (HHR) materials commonly used in automotive electronic applications. The new polyester is based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and offers thermal conductivity via a proprietary filler. Arnite PET XL-T also features a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion.
