The continued growth of the lighting industry and in particularly LED sees an increasing demand in materials meeting stringent requirements and providing longevity. The range of elastomers available to lighting engineers and designers is quite extensive. With so much choice, choosing the right material can become difficult and it’s easy to get lost in an ocean of information, grades and specifications.
PremSil Silicone Sponge has extreme temperature resistance, chemical stability and a low compression set. It’s that fantastic sealing ability which makes it the material of choice in many lighting applications, performing comfortably with the heat generated in lighting enclosures. Silicone sponge’s excellent environmental resistance mean it is excellent for use in outdoor applications where protection from weathering is vital for performance, and reduces the life cycle cost & maintenance regime significantly. Naturally, a sponge offers an inherent cost saving and improved sealing properties over a rubber counterpart.
