Dow Corning® CI-2001 White Reflective Coating Promises Simplified Manufacturing, Enhanced Efficiency of LED Lamps and Luminaires

Las Vegas – Dow Corning, a global leader in silicones, silicon-based technology and innovation, is offering an exclusive look at Dow Corning® CI-2001 White Reflective Coating for LED lighting applications at LIGHTFAIR® International 2014 (Booth #8425). In the final stages of development, this highly reflective white silicone coating is designed to spray easily onto almost any surface to form a tough layer with internal high reflectivity. The technology targets greater design flexibility vs. competitive materials allowing more sophisticated shapes and materials to be used in advanced LED modules and reflectors.

“The development of CI-2001 White Reflective Coating Coating for secondary optics underscores Dow Corning’s commitment to its customers’ success,” said Hugo da Silva, global industry director for LED Lighting at Dow Corning. “This advanced new technology builds upon the positive reception of Dow Corning® MS-2002 White Reflective Moldable Silicone by offering a new coating option with exceptional processability and high reflectivity for more efficient, reliable and ultimately more competitive LED lamp and luminaire designs.”

Like other industry-leading products in Dow Corning’s family of high-end optical silicones,  CI-2001 Coating is formulated to deliver outstanding mechanical, thermal and optical stability at elevated temperatures. This allows lamp and luminaire components fabricated or coated with the material to maintain high reflectivity as well as consistent color and structural performance over the lifetime of an LED luminaire.

Dow Corning CI-2001 Reflective Coating, as well as other innovative products from Dow Corning’s expanding portfolio of solutions for LED lamps and luminaires, are being featured here at LIGHTFAIR® International 2014 at the company’s booth.

A market leader in materials, expertise and collaborative innovation for LED lighting concepts, Dow Corning offers solutions that span the entire LED value chain, adding reliability and efficiency for sealing, protecting, adhering, cooling, and shaping light at a more affordable price across all lighting applications.

LIGHTFAIR® International is the world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference. Held here at the Las Vegas Convention Center from June 3-5, the event sets the global stage for lighting, design and technology innovation.
