SILRES^® phenyl silicone resins, thanks to their heat resistance, water repellency and high reactivity, are ideal binders for incandescent lamps' socket cement. They strengthen the cement layer and ensure mechanical fixing of the glass bulbs to the metal socket that lasts for many years. Modern compact fluorescent lamps require over 80 % less energy than conventional incandescent bulbs to achieve the same light yield. Heat-resistant ELASTOSIL^® silicones provide the bond between the lamp and its base with the required permanent elasticity.
