The chemistry of innovation. The science of success. Yesterday’s materials can no longer keep pace with your demands. Today, you need innovative and proven technologies. You need novel combinations of physical, chemical and optical properties that can be manipulated to meet a wide range of functional, processing, and performance requirements.
Bending the light to your will. Silicon-based materials are intrinsically stable under heat, UV radiation, mechanical stress, and high optical flux (with low optical loss). Molecular structures can be synthesized to precisely control refractive indices for optimized light transmission. Functionalities can be introduced to incorporate thermo-optic and electro-optic properties. All of these capabilities can be combined to create materials that manipulate light in unique ways. Additionally, a multitude of cure chemistries (radiation, thermal, aerobic) is available and a range of product forms (from fluids and soft gels to elastomeric and rigid materials). This gives you the flexibility you need to develop robust product and process designs.
