LED Headlamp Reflectors

High-temperature, lightweight PEI resin has replaced lacquered glass-reinforced BMC and PPS, or die-cast aluminum in this LED headlamp reflector.  High-polish SPI-1 finish on hardened steel tooling was required to get the reflector’s highly polished surface and the resin was formulated with a high-purity pigment package and low oligomers base resin.  The part saves approximately 50% weight and 30% direct cost vs. BMC, and an additional 10% indirect cost savings due to scrap reduction and recyclability.
