The increasing use of high-power LEDs places increasing demands on the materials used. The new generation of LED systems are characterized by a high light output with lower power consumption in comparison to traditional light systems. Despite the effectiveness of the lamps, their very compact construction gives rise to high temperatures of up to 150 degrees C, in conjunction with a high proportion of hard blue light radiation. This combination of temperature and radiation leads to accelerated ageing of the optical thermoplastics typically used today, as well as a shortened LED system life of only a few thousand hours. However, the new LSR 7000 series from Momentive offers an innovative alternative for such increased demands.
Thorsten Häuser, head of LSR automotive application technology at Momentive, adds: "The concept of manufacturing lenses from an elastomer at first sounds a little absurd, as this market is traditionally dominated by rigid materials. But facts such as transparency, no expected stress cracks, and the possibility of economically manufacturing complex geometries (including even undercuts) speak clearly in favour of the considerable innovative potential offered by highly transparent LSRs in the application area of future LED systems.
