1.Encapsulants: Gel, Elastomer and Resin

Dow Corning provides both High RI and Normal RI OE
Series silicone encapsulants, which have outstanding light
transmittance across the application wavelengths of LEDs.
These encapsulants provide excellent stress relief, moisture
protection and UV resistance for LED chip sealing and
protection.

2.Lens Molding: Elastomer and Resin

Dow Corning provides the high RI resin material needed
for optical lens fabrication. These products are designed
with excellent injection and compression molding
characteristics.

3.Overmolding: Elastomer and Resin

Dow Corning® OE Series silicone encapsulants are
excellent candidates for the overmolding process, the leading-
edge process technology.
