MCPET IS A HIGHLY REFLECTIVE FOAM MATERIAL FOR LIGHTING APPLICATIONS

MCPET offers several advantages over

  • ther reflective material and is widely

recognised as the number one material for reflectivity and versatility. The key to the material is its microcellular structure which ensures high reflectivity ratios, both overall and diffuse.

Compared to BaSo4 Barium Sulphate

Unlike aluminium reflectors MCPET reflects light at different levels

  • Irregular cell structure reflects the light at different angles
  • The light reflects from the surface of the material and from within

Resulting in a far greater level of diffuse reflectivity

ADVANTAGES OF USING MCPET

High Overall reflectivity - better performance High diffuse reflectivity - shallow/homogeneous Isolation - no requirement to earth reflector. Easy installation Lightweight Reliability and durability Securing – cables

ADVANTAGES OF USING MCPET

Overall cost reduction Non harmful material Recyclable Thermal deformation = 170°C Melting temperature = 240°C Easier application than aluminium reflectors Equal or higher reflectivity can be achieved with simpler shapes

ADVANTAGES OF USING MCPET

Holds curved shape under pressure due to rigidity of material Wires can be secured using MCPET
