Useful ranges and selection cautions.

These are family level planning ranges. The selected commercial grade and its current data sheet control the design.

TransmissionGrade and thickness specific
Refractive indexSupplier measured, wavelength dependent
YellowingHeat and light aging required
Tool surfaceOptical polish and cleanliness critical
ConductivityFilled grades use different processing controls
FlameExact thickness and listing required
Fluid resistanceFluorosilicone routes available
Key cautionContamination, bubbles, knit lines and optical measurement

Typical applications

Where this family enters a shortlist.

  • Lenses and light guides
  • Optical seals
  • Conductive keypads
  • Special fluid seals

Questions before approval

What can change the decision.

  1. What wavelength and transmission target apply?
  2. How will bubbles and optical distortion be inspected?
  3. Is the need optical, conductive, flame or fluid resistance?
