Silicon lens manufacturing involves a complex process that requires careful attention to detail. The process starts with liquid injection molding, which is different from traditional plastic injection molding. The resulting material is a two-component liquid silicone that requires thermal polymerization.

Manufacturing Process: This involves tightly bonding the aluminum foil layer to the base fabric using adhesive or heat pressing. This method ensures a strong bond between the foil and the fabric, although the flexibility between layers may be somewhat affected.

For instance, when you use aluminum foil as an insulation material to wrap food and then heat it in a microwave, the reflective side facing the food significantly enhances the heating efficiency. This improvement is not only due to the reflection of radiant heat but also the conduction of heat that occurs simultaneously. Conversely, when you place foil-wrapped food under direct sunlight, the heating process is substantially slower compared to unwrapped food because, in this scenario, the aluminum foil acts as a radiant barrier, effectively slowing down the heat absorption by shielding the food from direct radiative heat sources.

Untreated aluminum foil features two sides: a shiny, polished surface and a matte, rough surface. The polished surface provides the familiar function of reflection heat, specifically reflecting radiant heat, which includes specific wavelengths such as infrared and ultraviolet light, rather than heat transfer through conduction or convection.

Optical lenses

In addition to their optical properties, silicone lenses are also highly resistant to water, temperature fluctuations, weathering, and UV radiations. They have a high temperature resistance of up to 200℃, making them ideal for applications where COB temperature is a concern. They also have a long service life, which means that they can be used for extended periods without the need for frequent replacements.

Silicon lenses are a type of optical lens that is made from liquid optical silicone, which is processed by liquid injection molding. These lenses are known for their exceptional quality and durability, as they are made from an unbreakable optically clear silicone rubber that is both safe and reliable. YEJIA specializes in producing silicone lenses in a variety of sizes. Our largest lens measures up to 575mm, while our smallest lens is just 1mm. No matter what your specific needs may be, we have the expertise and technology to deliver the highest quality silicone lenses on the market.

Silicon lenses are highly suitable for aerospace lighting lenses, mining lamps, and special lamps and lanterns used in flammable, explosive, and harsh conditions. They are also ideal for industrial lighting, indoor and outdoor LED lighting, automotive headlights, and LED displays.

We take pride in our production environment, which includes a class 100,000 clean production workshop and a class 10,000 inspection cleanroom. Our production equipment includes SUMITOMO and ARBURG horizontal liquid silicone injection molding machines, and our inspection equipment features Mitaka non-contact measuring instruments, Zeiss 3D optical metrology, Goniophotometers, UV Vis-spectrophotometers, blue light scanners and so on.

To ensure quality, every cavity of the silicon lens light guides must be 100% inspected. If any defects are detected, the injection process must be stopped immediately to remove the mold cavities and readjust the injection process. After inspection, the silicone lenses undergo post-curing to remove unreacted silicon monomers. The curing time can range from 4 to 20 hours, depending on the type of silicone material.

While aluminum foil has excellent heat reflection efficiency, it does have a critical drawback: its low strength, as even a 5-year-old child can easily tear a piece of aluminum foil.

Aspheric lenses

Manufacturing Process: Similar to laminated fabric, this process involves applying a coating of aluminum foil to the base fabric, typically using adhesives or heat. The bond is strong, but flexibility may be compromised.Characteristics and Applications: With a thinner aluminum layer, this fabric offers a balance between flexibility and heat reflection. It is suitable for applications that require some degree of insulation and protection, often found in outdoor gear and protective clothing.

Compared to PMMA or PC lenses, silicon lenses have a higher light transmission rate of about 94%, making them suitable for high-grade optical applications. The optical efficiency of silicon lenses is also higher than PMMA and PC lenses, with better consistency and more accurate light angles, and their anti-UV properties are superior to both PC and PMMA.

Characteristics and Applications: Due to the thicker aluminum foil layer, this material generally exhibits better abrasion resistance and tear strength. It is commonly used in applications requiring good thermal insulation and protection, such as fire-resistant clothing, emergency blankets, and other safety-related products.

Therefore, when used as a heat reflective material, it is typically combined with other high-strength materials, such as fiberglass fabric or Kevlar fabric, to ensure the durability and structural integrity of the heat repellent materials. The composite processes for aluminum foil heat repellent materials include lamination and coating, each with the following material characteristics:

However, there are some disadvantages to using silicon lenses. Firstly, the cost of raw materials is higher than that of PC lenses, which can increase the overall cost of manufacturing. Additionally, the injection molding technology for silicon lenses is not yet mature, which can further increase the cost of manufacturing.

One of the key benefits of silicone lenses is their high light transmission, which ensures that there is no residual stress or yellowing. This results in an excellent visual effect that is free from fatigue and dispersion.

The mold design must also consider the shrinkage rate of the silicon lens during the curing process. Once the shrinkage rate is determined, the curing process cannot be changed without affecting the final size of the part. Therefore, it is crucial to calculate the shrinkage rate accurately before designing a mass production mold.

Silicon lenses also have several advantages over traditional glass lenses. Silicon lenses are lighter and more durable, reducing the cost of mounting parts, installation, and maintenance.
