Dow Corning to Showcase Innovative and High-performance Silicon-based Solutions for Lighting Industry Value Chain
| WHERE: | Dow Corning Exhibit Booth (Hall 8.1, booth No. C36)
Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition
China Import and Export Fair Complex
Guangzhou, China |
| WHEN: | June 9-12, 2011 |
| WHAT: | Dow Corning, a global leader
in silicones and silicon-based technology, provides innovative,
high-performance silicon-based materials for the next generation of lighting.
The company’s lighting experts will be on hand to discuss solutions that span
the entire lighting value chain that provide reliability and efficiency for
sealing, protecting, adhering, cooling, and controlling light performance
within all light-related applications.
Silicon-based materials are ideally suited to meet the needs of the LED
(light emitting diode) industry as they provide high adhesion, high purity,
moisture resistance, and thermal stability, and retain optical clarity at
elevated temperatures relative to organic materials.
To utilize all of the attributes of LEDs, lighting systems should be
designed with the capabilities to maximize the benefits of LED lighting,
optimized around the lighting profile of an LED source, and suitable for new
construction.
Use of LEDs in lamps and lighting systems frequently requires materials that
are:
-
Optically transparent and able to withstand intense light sources;
-
Thermally stable and able to withstand high operating temperatures;
-
White, and able to reflect light without excessive losses; and,
-
Protective of sensitive electronic components
