DELO offers a variety of adhesives for automotive lighting applications. DELO PHOTOBOND OB4189 is one example. It is resistant to yellowing and, with its high aspect ratio, is particularly suitable for bonding microlens arrays, such as those found in headlights and projection systems.
These days, light is considered among the most important elements of automotive design and differentiation. Microlens arrays are a key player in these developments. They project LED light, which sits behind a very short focal length, providing sharp images and individual geometries. These systems are increasingly being used as optics in headlights and projection systems due to their low required installation depth.
For increased efficiency, such microlenses are often made of optically pure polymers, in other words, adhesives. One example of these polymers is DELO PHOTOBOND OB4189. It is a particularly suitable candidate thanks to the following properties:
This all enables high-precision active alignment processes for optical components and low cycle times in automated production.
