GLOBAL MOLDABLE OPTICAL SILICONE MARKET

INTRODUCTION

Comparing moldable optical silicones to polycarbonate  and polymethyl methacrylate plastics, moldable optical silicones offer strong resistance to ultraviolet exposure, optical yellowing, and scratching.

Moldable optical silicones are becoming a practical choice for secondary optics, light pipes, light guides, and other optical components in LED-based product designs.

The capacity to endure the high temperatures associated with the LED semiconductor junction without any optical degradation is provided by novel formulations created specifically for solid-state lighting. The product developer has a lot of versatility thanks to the material's ability to be moulded into intricate designs.

Silicones are able to endure higher temperatures, support higher lumen densities, improve manufacturability, and permit more complicated designs, which address a number of issues brought on by next-generation LED designs. Silicones are developing, much like LEDs.

While some silicone grades are transparent, moldable silicones, like those recently developed by Dow Corning, are a more sophisticated material designed specifically for LED applications, and they perform favourably when compared to today's best-in-class optical materials.

GLOBAL MOLDABLE OPTICAL SILICONE MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

Global moldable optical silicone market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

For adaptive driving beam (ADB) light guides in automobiles, Dow has introduced a new mouldable silicone material.According to a statement released by Dow on May Silastic MS-5002 mouldable silicone is a specialised liquid silicone rubber (LSR) with extremely minimal mould fouling for quicker cycle times and high-quality optics.

According to Dow, its new material will satisfy the need from optical matrix lens moulders who are seeking to make parts with higher throughput as the trend for ADB headlights moves into mass production.

The substance was created especially for creating injection-molded components with less complex geometries that demand high output.Moreover, it has a large processing window, excellent transparency, and is non-yellowing to maximise LED light output.

The Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) product family of SILASTIC will be aligned with moldable optical silicones. The current DOWSIL Moldable Optical Silicones will share the SILASTIC name as a result of this alignment. This modification will build on the reputation of the SILASTIC brand, competence with silicone elastomer compounding, and a worldwide network of technical experts.
