A comprehensive guide to light blocking films — also known as black PET films, blackout films, optical density films, and light shielding materials. Explore applications, specifications, and how to choose the right opaque film for your LED, display, or electronics project.
Both Polycarbonate and Polystyrene prismatic diffusers can achieve TP(a) rigid fire classification under UK Building Regulations Approved Document B. See our SGS-certified test results and learn what TP(a) means when specifying UGR<19 lighting for commercial, educational, and public spaces.
Learn how IK ratings measure LED diffuser durability — and how Polystyrene, PMMA, and Polycarbonate compare across impact resistance, transmittance, and UV stability. A practical guide to specifying vandal-resistant, UGR<19 compliant lighting for any environment.
LED diffusers are at the heart of every luminaire — from office ceiling panels and retail displays to street lights and medical equipment. But not all diffusers are equal when it comes to chemical safety. The materials used — polycarbonate (PC), PMMA, and polystyrene (PS) — often contain additives for UV protection, flame resistance, and […]
When designing LED lighting, engineers must balance optical performance, thermal stability, and fire safety. One critical indicator for safe material selection is the Glow-Wire Flammability Index (GWFI), a global standard used to evaluate a plastic’s resistance to ignition. At Hexatron, our optical-grade materials are tested and certified to meet IEC 60695-2-12 standards, ensuring both optical […]
