    coating

    Coating

     

    Coatings in lamp manufacturing are used for different applications. We have several coatings in our portfolio: interior protective glass coating for TUV lamps, adhesive agent for fluorescent lamps, reflector coating for low wattage Metal Halide lamps and interior color coatings (GLS and TL).

     

    Features and benefits:

    • Protection against blackening 
    • Smooth coverage of the lamp glass
    • Temperature control inside metal halide lamps
    drawing lubricants

    Drawing lubricants

     

    Lubricants are designed to achieve severe reductions when drawing tungsten or molybdenum wire. These lubricants will help you to improve your wire quality and reduce wire breaks to produce a top quality finished wire.

     

    Features and benefits:

    • Emulsion preparation and water quantity advise
    • Low foam properties
    • Very low impurity levels to prevent wire break
    • Excellent lubricity
    emitters

    Emitters

     

    A uniform layer of emitter applied on the electrodes of fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps lowers the work function of the electrode; ensuring starting and the lifetime of the lamp. We offer a complete emitter product range for all types of discharge lamps.

     

    Features and benefits: 

    • Increases lamp life and performance
    • Decreases the work function of tungsten wire
    getters

    Getters

     

    Getters are used to absorb impurity gasses in incandescent lamps. This contributes to a clean lamp atmosphere which ensures the lifetime of the lamps.

     

    Features and benefits:

    • No effect on the mirror
    • Less or no tinting of the bulb
    • An easy to evaporate zero hour getter and a life time getter which works at low temperature are available
    inks

    Inks

     

    The inks are used to mark and identify lamps and come in two types: stamp-pad inks and pad printing inks. Stamp-pad ink has a good printing behavior for clear marking. Fixation is done by heating. Pad printing ink has a different marking process and won’t have to burn in.

     

    Features and benefits:

    • Easy to apply, excellent scratch resistance and good contrast
    • High temperature resistant (400-800 degrees Celsius)
    • Stable luminescent layer, no discoloration, UV resistant
    soldering fluxes

    Soldering fluxes

     

    The purpose of flux is to facilitate the soldering process. It removes impurities (e.g. oxides) from the surface of the cap or base and provides a proper solder flow. 

     

    Features and benefits:

    • Yellow or orange, low viscous liquid
    • Our soldering fluxes are ready for use
