CAPLINQ supports Shin-Etsu LED Silicone products

CAPLINQ today reached an agree­ment with Shin-Etsu Chem­i­cal to rep­re­sent its line of spe­cial­ty LED sil­i­cone mate­ri­als to its cus­tomer base in Europe, the Mid­dle East and Africa. Under the terms of the agree­ment, CAPLINQ will pro­vide tech­ni­cal and sales sup­port to pro­mote Shin-Etsu’s line of KJR, LPS, and SWC sil­i­cones with focus on those prod­ucts designed for for LED and LED-mod­ule assem­bly for the gen­er­al light­ing market.

LEDs Love Silicone

To meet the hot­ter, longer life (>80,000 hrs), more UV and ther­mal­ly sta­ble demands of the LED indus­try, sil­i­cones are the only cost-effec­tive option. As one of the world’s top three raw sil­i­cone man­u­fac­tur­ers, Shin-Etsu is one of only a a hand­ful of com­pa­nies capa­ble of offer­ing cost-effec­tive spe­cial­ty sil­i­cone solu­tions. Specif­i­cal­ly for the fast-grow­ing LED indus­try, Shin-Etsu is the only glob­al com­pa­ny capa­ble of sup­ply­ing a com­plete range of sil­i­cone solu­tions for LED appli­ca­tions includ­ing pre­mold­ed reflec­tors, die-attach, encap­su­lant, phos­pho­rus car­ri­er and lens

A natural fit

The range of sil­i­cone mate­ri­als offered by Shin-Etsu Chem­i­cal com­ple­ments the strate­gic direc­tion of CAPLINQ, whose aim is to sup­ply a com­plete line of con­sum­able mate­ri­als to semi­con­duc­tor man­u­fac­tur­ers there­by enabling them to reduce their time-to-market.

“Shin-Etsu Chem­i­cal’s LED Sil­i­cones are the answers to what our cus­tomers have been ask­ing for,” stat­ed Chris Per­abo, Busi­ness Devel­op­ment Man­ag­er of CAPLINQ. “With Europe’s focus on and sup­port of LED and pho­to­volta­ic com­pa­nies, there has been tremen­dous request to pro­vide the sil­i­cone mate­ri­als that Shin-Etsu can now offer. The part­ner­ship of our two com­pa­nies in this joint effort will allow a larg­er Euro­pean cus­tomer base to appre­ci­ate what Shin-Etsu can offer them.”
