New High Performance UV-C Optical Molded Silicone Material

July 18, 2023
UV optical material DUV280 achieves over 90% transmittance of 280nm UV-C light and almost no performance loss after 15,000 hours of irradiation at Φe=70mW.

From core expertise in optics and rubber molding, Japanese manufacturer Asahi Rubber introduces a new UV optical material (“DUV280”) with over 90% transmittance of 280nm UV-C light and almost no performance loss after 15,000 hours of irradiation at Φe=70mW.

This material exhibits silicone’s advantage at realizing complex shapes and fine details for expansive possibilities. Two standard lenses are initially available as well: AL-10M-DUV280 with a ~10° distribution angle compatible with 3535 footprint LEDs, and AL-20M-DUV280 with a ~20° distribution angle compatible with 6868 footprint LEDs.

DUV280 optics can support wide-ranging applications including sterilization and dermal phototherapy, among others.
