ASA COLOR LENS
【Visible light, UV, IR】
Collaborating with a material maker to develop transparent silicone, ASAHI RUBBER was the first to commercialize the new material as lens for all sectors such as general lighting, ultra-violet irradiator, automotive.
We keep providing lens solutions to our customers, supporting in all aspects of material/structure/optical performance backed by its ample experience.
Optical design: Design service, with or without materialization, is available. Lots of experience especially on lighting lens.
Materials: Best material selections from all major silicone makers.
Siloxane: Our special treatment can remove siloxane to the utmost limit. Feel free to contact us if you are looking for solutions in lighting lens.
What are transparent resins with excellent characteristics and expanding applications?
Best for NUV LEDs or blue LEDs, since ASA COLOR lens works well at a wavelength of 365nm.
ASA COLOR lens is transparent over NUV～NIR(350~1,000nm), with an excellent overall transmittance of 95.4%.※THK:2mm. Just for reference, none guaranteed value.
Passed an oven test of 150 ℃×1,000h Reflow solder tolerant (275℃)
Independent on product size, our accumulated molding technology brings complex shape products.
