ALCOM LB LIGHT BLOCKING

Light only where its needed

ALCOM LB enables the grouping of separate light
sources in a very confined space. For the same energy
output, efficiency is increased and luminescence
is improved with no leakage into adjacent chambers.
With ALCOM LB (Light Blocking) you can contain your light source in confined
spaces. In control and functional lighting for example, ALCOM LB enables the
grouping of many separate light sources in very small spaces. Special compound
formulations thereby combine high opacity and reflection levels with extremely
thin wall thicknesses irrespective of the base polymer.
Therefore, when applied, the efficiency is increased with the same energy
consumption and the lighting power significantly improved. Every light chamber
provides optimum light output without leaking into other chambers. High thermal
stability, low warpage and balanced mechanical properties make ALCOM LB the
ideal material for every design-orientated application.
With our special light laboratory for the development and testing of sophisticated
ALCOM Lighting solutions, we satisfy even the highest demands of our
customers. By measuring and specifying transmission, diffusion and reflection,
we ensure consistent lighting properties in all applications. Together with the
desired mechanical material properties, we guarantee a continuous quality in
series production.
In the Light Blocking (LB) segment, many products are already available for a wide
range of application areas including functional, ambient or search lighting.
We are pleased in helping you in developing individual products that meet your
needs.
