Our Track Record
Historically silicones, urethanes and epoxies have found a place within lighting for sealing enclosures, potting ballasts, cable entries, and meeting ATEX requirements. The growth in LED light sources has proved an opportunity for our materials to be used in more novel applications and silicones, in particular, have found a home.
Reasons for use
- Available as crystal clear resin, safe on ‘chips’
- Bonding to dissimilar materials.
- Hydrophobic, waterproof
- Formulated to transmit heat
Typical applications
- Encapsulation of bare devices
- Sealing bezels and lenses
- Cable entries
- Thermal interface between PCB and heat sink
Silicone Solutions have been a main supplier to Habasit UK for over 10 years, supplying a range of silicones used within our manufacture. Silicone Solutions and Habasit have worked together to build a strong working relationship. We have always found Silicone Solutions staff to be friendly and with a professional attitude especially within new developments. We look forward to many years of continued service.
We approached Silicone Solutions after having thermal expansion issues with our existing potting compound. We were in pre-production with significant backorders of over 10000 units. Time was of the essence and Andy Briars, Silicone Solutions Technical Manager recognised this straight away. He immediately attended site within 24 hours to discuss the issues with our engineers and samples were provided quickly along with onsite testing support. We have now switched over to a silicone based compound and we are all really grateful to Andy and his team for getting this product back on track and in production. Thank you very much!
