LEDs are increasingly used in many different lighting applications

Compared to conventional light sources, such as incandescent lamps and energy-saving lights, LEDs are much more energy efficient. They last longer and offer many new design possibilities. Because of these advantages, LEDs are increasingly used in many different lighting applications.

“The LED market will see many new areas of application open up. We are committed to help our customers develop new technologies faster, technologies such as UV LEDs to sterilize water, LEDs in automobiles, and LEDs for general lighting," Said Junglin Tsai, Asia Pacific Manager of Marketing & Applied Technology, Evonik Cristal Materials Corporation.“Therefore, we want to be our customers’ strategic partner and a solution provider, rather than only providing the products. In this way, we can participate in their product developments by offering full-range technical services.”

The SAVOSIL™ lenses are produced using Evonik’s patented SiVARA™ Sol-Gel Technology which is environmental friendly and allows glass lenses of consistent quality to be manufactured in any desired shape. The process recently received the Frost and Sullivan European Technology Innovation Award. In addition, the SAVOSIL™ lenses produced with this special process meet all the requirements of the high-value LED market:LED Linear highbay light temperature stability, UV-resistance, 3D arrangement in complex geometries, customization to customer specs,etc.
