elkaFLEX is a specially-developed soft material permanently combined in the extrusion process with the materials ABS, PC and PMMA.

elkaFLEX seals lamp housings securely and provides reliable protection against dust, dirt,
water and insects.

Its high degree of flexibility facilitates new ideas in design, shape and function.

All over the world, developers and designers rely on Elkamet luminaire covers. Here, in the industrial manufactory, decades of experience in materials, processes and finishing come together.

The blow-moulded and individually mirrored, lacquered and milled objects are made of durable polycarbonate. This makes them just as suitable for interiors as for outdoor lighting. Wishes and demands in the realisation of new products come true as our material developers and designers work hand in hand to achieve the individual, perfect result.

Diffusers specially developed for LED technology are mixed with transparent technical plastics such as PC or PMMA.
The incident light is distributed over the entire surface of the component, without any change in the light spectrum and with excellent light transmission.

Thanks to the diffuse scattering of the material “LED hot-spots” are avoided.

At Light & Building we are going to show you the next evolution step of our LED Batches.

Another innovative highlight are our metallised luminaire covers. In a special process, they are provided with a metallic mirror layer in a vacuum. This reflective layer is applied to the inside of the product and then sealed (corrosion protection). Different metallisation methods can be used to achieve opaque or semi-transparent reflective finishes.

Metallisation is available in aluminum and bronze (gold effect), in horizontal or vertical orientation of the product. The mirrored layer acts, for example, in outdoor lighting as a shield upwards and thus directs the light in the desired direction > increased efficiency (ULOR / Light Pollution).

An additional coating with coloured essences inside and outside as well as a matt lacquering outside is possible.

Special features such as lettering, stripes, patterns or gradient reflections etc. are possible on request.

Gemäß Ihren Vorgaben fertigen wir funktionsgerechte und maßgenaue Profile für Anwendungen in der Lichttechnik. Die Werkstoffe Polycarbonat, Plexiglas® (PMMA) und andere technische Kunststoffe stehen als transparente, transluzente, aber auch gedeckte Einfärbungen zur Verfügung. Ihr spezieller Anwendungsfall entscheidet über das zu verwendende Material:

• PC für hohe Wärmeformbeständigkeit und große mechanische Belastung
• PMMA für beste Brillanz, UV-Beständigkeit und hohe Transparenz

Durch innovative Herstellverfahren können wir bis zu 3 unterschiedliche Materialien und Farben miteinander verbinden und dadurch durchdachte all-in-one Lösungen für Leuchtengehäuse anbieten.

Neben klassischen Profilkonturen stellen wir außerdem Rund- oder Ovalrohre in unterschiedlichen Durchmessern her. Diese empfehlen sich besonders für Einsatzbereiche mit hohen Schutzanforderungen.
