Transparent
LED light-guides, lenses and other components often demand stronger or more focused emission of light. In these applications, transparent grades of LEXAN™ resin polycarbonate (PC) deliver high transmission of light plus other high-value performance qualities. Transparent LEXAN LUX resins offer expansive design freedom for LED lighting applications through excellent processability and a broad range of flow profiles. In addition, they offer better impact resistance than glass, as well as flame-retardant options unavailable from competitive plastic materials like PMMA (acrylic).
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS:
- High transparency
- Improved heat aging properties
- IEC GWFI up to 960°C
- Non-chlorinated & non-brominated FR systems
- UL 94 V0 down to 1mm transparent
- UL94 5VA down to 3mm transparent/diffuse
- UL746 RTI rating up to 120°C
- UL746C f1 rating for LUX_C solutions
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS:
- Retrofit transparent LED bulbs
- LED linear lighting (tubes)
- Light covers (injection molded, injection stretch blow molding or by extrusion process)
- Lenses & light guides
