Wacker Presents New Silicone Rubber Grades for Encapsulating LEDs
Wacker, the Munich-based chemical company, will unveil two new encapsulation compounds for light-emitting diodes (LED) at the 20th International Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber K 2016 in Düsseldorf, Germany. The encapsulants Lumisil® 740 and Lumisil® 770 cure to form highly transparent silicone elastomers. Both silicones withstand exceptionally high operating temperatures and strong light radiation without yellowing or becoming brittle. They are thus ideal for encapsulating high-performance LEDs. K 2016 will take place from October 19 to 26, 2016.
