Collaboration with Guardtex and Structural Composites Inc. is Bringing the Newest and Brightest Composite on the Market
LamLight, a revolutionary take on lighting solutions, combines the textile expertise of Guardtex and the innovative creation of Structural Composites' resin, CoCure. It creates a composite that brings light to any rigid structure. The first light-emitting composite material is LamLight, a combination of Kanvaslight, an illuminating fabric, and Co-Cure, a hybrid polymer resin. Whether you need a functional or aesthetic light for your composite structures, LamLight is the perfect solution.
LamLight is a two-component system built with an electronic and a composite. LamLight uses light transportation to light the composite. By using light transportation, LamLight is the perfect LED replacement. With the optical fibers woven throughout the composite, electricity does not flow through the composite, only through the light injector, making LamLight the ideal lighting solution in terms of safety. Once the electronic is plugged into a power source, the light injector shines a powerful light; through a patented optical coupling, the light can then be diffused into the various optical fibers of the composite. The optical fibers are treated to allow light to leak out, giving you a very uniform and smooth lighting effect.
LamLight can seamlessly integrate into a structure, unlike other light-emitting materials, without altering its mechanical properties. This allows it to be used in various industries such as boats, pools, aeronautics, and more. Guardtex was able to centralize all the light injectors in one area using optical wires. We developed optical cables to transport the light between the light injector and the composite with minimum light losses to integrate the electronic device further away from the illuminating composite. No electricity flows into the optical wires, only light. The Optical wire allows all the electricity to be in one specified electrical location, and the lighting composite can be implemented wherever light is needed. Structural Composites, Co-Cure is a resin that is a hybrid of a flexible polyurethane network and a UPR rigid cured network. Co-Cure is highly compatible with Kanvaslight illuminating fabric as a resin, making the LamLight composite. Co-Cure provides the best light transmission ratio while keeping the composite flexible and resistant. With Co-Cure, a boat manufacturer can reduce the boat's weight while improving its mechanical performance. Co-Cure can double the life expectancy of products as a resin for composites.
