Electrolube Resin Proves a Hit with French Lighting Specialist Odeli
Share:
The French LED luminaire and custom lighting manufacturer, Odeli, found an ideal production partner in Electrolube, whose UR5635 hazy polyurethane resin proved the best solution for protecting LED lighting products destined for the European Games Stadium at Baku, Azerbaijan.
Odeli is a leading French lighting manufacturer specialising in the custom design and manufacture of high-end LED lighting products and luminaires for the demanding public and commercial building sectors. Odeli prides itself on its ability to deliver fully customised, often unique, products on short lead times and built to the highest quality standards. The company was recently appointed to provide new lighting systems for St Petersburg Airport.
Odeli came across Electrolube and its products back in March 2015, when it was actively seeking a resin supplier. At the time, it was working on an international project to provide stadium lighting products for the 2015 European Games that were due to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan from June 12-28.
Having given Electrolube full specifications and an explanation of its requirements with regard to a suitable encapsulant for the LED based systems, Odeli was invited to test Electrolube's UR5635 hazy polyurethane resin. Samples were duly delivered for testing, based on the real conditions in which the lighting was destined to operate. UR5635 was subsequently approved for the application and the appropriate processes installed - all within one month of the first meeting between the two companies.
Electrolube's Technical Sales Engineer, Celine Virgo comments: "Most of the lighting products created for this project were designed with a transparent, hazy polyurethane resin in mind - and a resin that was also available in large quantities. Fortunately, we were able to meet both these needs with our UR5635 product.
"The project imposed very tight deadlines, which, thanks to our ability to react quickly to customers' requests, we were able to meet. We believe the proven quality of our products and easy product application processes, combined with our knowledge of the needs of LED lighting manufacturers, helped secure the success of this project."
UR5635 hazy polyurethane resin is a two-part, semi-rigid resin material formulated with a 'hazy/cloudy' appearance. The product is ideal for use in decorative applications that need environmental protection, and is particularly suitable for lighting applications where there is a desire for a dispersive lighting effect.
Alexandre Boullot, Managing Director of Odeli, said, “Electrolube’s resin achieved excellent luminosity combined with a very pleasing aesthetic finish. UR5635 also proved highly capable in a large-scale production environment and the company is looking forward to future project collaborations with Electrolube”.
