Silicone Solutions & Materials for LED Lighting

Illuminating the future together

The future is looking bright for LED lighting designers and manufacturers. From offices to street lamps and automotive lighting to architectural installations, next-generation LED designs bring new possibilities in efficiency, light output, energy savings and expressive design while giving customers an entirely new experience.

Advancing your LED success, however, poses multiple challenges. You need better ways to maximize longevity and protect against environmental stress, all while managing overall process and system costs. Connect with the team at Dow Consumer Solutions to learn how we can work together to make sure that the lights stay on wherever, whenever.

Why silicones?

Silicone coatings, potting materials, adhesives and sealants?offer superb mechanical properties and provide strong protection of sensitive LED lights, while silicone thermal management materials?address overheating challenges common in LED luminaires.
