Cwmbran based LED manufacturers, iVision use RTV adhesives and G641 Heat Sink compound in their manufacturing process.

iVision are a manufacturer and international distributor of quality lighting products. Luke Davies, Product Development Manager had this to say, "The RTV1084G silicon based adhesive that is provided by Techsil is used to attach LEDs to the board which are hand placed. The adhesive holds the LEDs securely in place which allows them to be soldered with ease. The silicon also acts as a conductor between the LEDs and the circuit board. The adhesive is mainly used in the production the smaller fittings in our Lumos range such as MR16's and Lumos 3s.

 
 

We also use the G641 Heat Sink Compound from Techsil. Here at iVision we use this compound right across our range in the manufacture of our LED products, from smaller fittings such as our Lumos 3's and MR16's which contain just 3 LEDs, to larger light fittings such as our Lumos floodlight range which contain up to 48 LEDs. The heat sink compound is applied between the LED board and the heat sink material for the purpose of dissipating any excess heat generated by the diodes away from the LED board, towards the heat sink. This ensures that the LEDs do not overheat thus prolonging life and maintaining efficiency."
