Thresher Industries launches renewable low carbon heat sinks

Thresher Industries is headquartered in California, is a sophisticated and advanced aluminum metal matrix composite parts manufacturer, announced the day before, they have begun to develop products of low carbon heat, namely casting aluminum composite material with high thermal conductivity, this is a type of heat sink, originally developed for the application of LED lighting industry.

According to the U.S. Department of energy, said the white light, high power LED light effect is 150-200lm/W, 2 times the current fluorescent lamp, incandescent lamp is about 10 times. Industry experts believe that LED's long service life and high energy efficiency will become the next few years to measure the lighting standards. Thresher Industries's goal is to promote the development of energy-saving technologies, such as LED lighting, in the manufacturing process needs to have good heat dissipation.

According to the U.S. market research firm Strategies Unlimited predicts that by 2012, LED lighting market is expected to grow to $1 billion 650 million, making it the fastest growing areas of the LED industry.

Thresher Industries has been discussed with the California Polytechnic State University - Saint Louis Obispo science department, test and material data on the heat sink. Thresher Industries company's efforts to develop products, mainly focused on the development of low carbon products, high thermal performance of heat sinks more than 6061 LED aluminum alloy lighting applications. In addition to LED applications, Thresher Industries is expected to expand its product application market, such as automotive, electronics and aerospace industries and other applications.
