🔬 Light Diffusion Principle

Light diffusing agent is a silicone resin microsphere (or PMMA microsphere), with a microstructure of spherical elastomer. The microspheres are uniformly dispersed in plastic substrates, utilizing the refractive index difference with the substrate (silicone 1.43 / PMMA 1.49 vs PC 1.586) to scatter light, achieving high haze and high transmittance uniform light output.

🔮 Light Diffusion Principle & Selection

Light diffusing agent is a silicone resin microsphere (or PMMA microsphere), with a microstructure of spherical elastomer. The microspheres are uniformly dispersed in plastic substrates, utilizing the refractive index difference between the spherical microspheres and the substrate (silicone 1.43 / PMMA 1.49 vs PC 1.586) to scatter light, achieving high haze and high transmittance uniform light output.

Selection Guide: For high-temperature injection molding applications (PC lampshades, light guide plates, etc.), the Silicone Series is recommended, with heat resistance ≥300°C ensuring processing stability. For conventional temperature applications, the PMMA Series can be selected, with a refractive index of 1.49 providing higher compatibility with PMMA substrates. Smaller D50 particle size yields higher haze and slightly lower transmittance, while larger particle size yields higher transmittance and slightly lower haze. Select based on your specific requirements.

Product Introduction
Light Diffusing Agent · Spherical Elastomer Microspheres · High Haze & High Transmittance

Light diffusing agent is a silicone resin microsphere with a microstructure of spherical elastomer, mainly used in PC, PS, PMMA, PP and other plastics to achieve light diffusion effects. The spherical microspheres are uniformly dispersed in the substrate, utilizing the refractive index difference with the substrate to scatter light, achieving high haze and high transmittance uniform light output.

The silicone series offers excellent water resistance and superior heat resistance (high temperature resistance up to 300°C), along with excellent lubrication properties that can improve plastic processing flowability. The PMMA series has a refractive index of 1.49, providing higher compatibility with PMMA substrates, suitable for conventional temperature applications.

The core advantages of light diffusing agent are: stable haze, high brightness, high transmittance, and low addition amount. Only 0.5~2.0% addition is needed to achieve excellent light diffusion effects, far below traditional inorganic fillers, reducing the impact on substrate mechanical properties.
