Carpinteria, CA (PRWEB) January 18, 2006
NuSil Technology, a cutting-edge manufacturer of silicone-based materials for healthcare, aerospace, electronics and photonics -- through its Lightspan brand -- is set to unveil LSR-9618-30, the latest addition to its line of optical thermosets, nextweek at Photonics West 2006 in San Jose, Calif.
LSR-9618-30 is a hard (60-durometer, Type D), high-refractive-index (1.57), two-part, optically clear silicone elastomer, which is ideal for casting and molding high-performance optical components, as well as for use as an adhesive or encapsulant in optical electronic applications that require high optical transmission after exposure to the high temperatures of lead-free soldering.
“This product is offers exceptional light transmission and offers our customers another excellent choice for their molding and casting requirements,” said Brian Nash, vice president of Marketing and Sales. “LSR-9618-30 is another example of the outstanding efficiency, quality and scope of our Lightspan products.”
LSR-9618-30 cures in contact with most properly cleaned substrate materials, including optical glasses, optical plastics, and photonic semiconductors. Product cures at a wide range of cure times and temperatures to accommodate different production needs.
LSR-9618-30 is supplied in a ready-to-use cartridge that allows off-line mixing in a preset 1:1 ratio. It can also be purchased in standard two-part kits, which should be mixed in a 1:1 ratio Part A to Part B.
NuSil’s Lightspan brand products are specialized fluids, gels, coatings, thermosets and encapsulation materials ideal for refractive index matching. These products encompass a range of materials at different refractive indexes and include products resistant to fuels, solvents and other harsh environments, providing the engineering world with material options when matching a refractive index.
