Silicone in the Lighting Industry
Silicone rubber is one of the most widely used materials in this sector, both in its compact and sponge versions.
LED lighting is one of the fastest-growing sectors, thanks to its versatility, adaptability, and modern design. In this field, silicone rubber (in both compact and sponge versions) has become a key material due to its ability to be customized in any shape and RAL color, without losing transparency or yellowing. Furthermore, it offers great resistance to extreme temperatures, UV rays, ozone, and weather conditions, while ensuring waterproofing against water, humidity, and dust.
At MEREFSA, we design and adjust each project to meet the needs of our clients, conducting tests and customizations to ensure the highest quality results.
