Diffusion
LED Lighting requires a high light-output as well as scattering light and hiding the LED light source. For retrofit bulbs, a high beam angle is also required to maximize your design and output performance of the LED device. For linear lighting LED tubes, high modulus diffusive solutions are available to minimize deflection even by reducing wall thickness. SABIC developed a new generation of polycarbonate - LEXAN™ LUX resin - that meets these needs and also has improved heat aging properties. These resins are available in different diffusion levels.
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS:
- Low to high diffusion solutions
- High impact
- Improved heat aging properties
- IEC GWFI up to 960°C
- Non-chlorinated & non-brominated FR systems
- UL 94 V0 down to 0.75mm diffuse
- UL94 5VA down to 3mm transparent/diffuse
- UL746 RTI rating up to 120°C
- UL746C f1 rating for LEXAN LUX_C resin solutions
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS:
- Retrofit bulb diffusers
- LED linear lighting (tubes)
- Luminaire light covers (injection molded, injection stretch blow molding or by extrusion process)
