Astucia
Astucia specialises in the development of traffic management systems and has created an “Intelligent Road Stud” which uses a solar powered LED to project light that is visible up to 900 metres away.
The studs are light sensitive and automatically switch on at dusk. The studs needed a resin for the encapsulation of all the electronics that had a high refractive index, a high heat distortion temperature and which was UV resistant.
Working with Smooth-On, our principle suppliers of liquid urethane casting resins, a new resin was developed that could be poured for the encapsulation process and post cured at 80 degrees without “cooking” the sensitive electronic system. Crystal Clear 220 was the eventual result.
