From light simulation to the finished product
Silicone moulded parts made of optical silicone have the optical clarity of glass, but are lighter than glass or thermoplastics. Silicone also has better haze and dispersion properties than comparable plastic materials such as PC or PMMA.
In addition to its unique material flexibility, optical silicone has long-term temperature resistance up to 150°C and low-temperature flexibility down to -50°C. It is also characterised by high resistance to chemicals and weathering, while its UV stability prevents the components from yellowing.

Perfect use in optical applications
Thanks to their unbeatable properties, silicone materials are suitable for a wide range of applications, such as the production of complex and very precise geometries and microstructures.
- For applications with limited space
- At high temperatures due to high-performance LEDs or xenon lamps
- For the shading of certain areas of the optical components
- For decorations using printing, spray painting or PVD coatings
- For protection against dirt build-up on secondary optics
