R.D. Abbott Is Now a Full Service Supplier of Dow Corning Moldable Optical Silicones
This agreement includes Dow Corning® Moldable Optical Silicone materials. These materials are offering cutting-edge benefits for commercial and residential lighting, automotive and consumer goods applications.
“R.D. Abbott has a long history of being a technically innovative supplier for Dow Corning. We look forward to extending this partnership by distributing their optical silicone products throughout North American and by developing new solutions for efficient, reliable, and cost-effective lighting designs,” said Keith Thomas, President and CEO of R.D. Abbott.
Optical component designs have typically been limited to materials like glass, polycarbonate (PC), and PMMA. But with the market demands for more efficient, safer, longer-lasting, and durable lighting systems, Optically Clear LSR materials are providing an innovative alternative.
These flexible materials offer excellent optical clarity, can withstand heat and resist yellowing better than plastic, and are lighter than glass.
