LIGHTING PROFILES

Primo provides market leading manufacturers of lighting solutions with cover and insulation profiles, designed for optimum protection and easy installation.

Developing efficient and economical solutions and following market trends is what Primo is all about. In the lighting industry, this is done in a close and open relationship with Primo's partners and customers. 

Also, continuous investments in automatisation, such as inline processing on the extrusion line, packing machines and quality measurement devices, are essential in that process. Through automatisation, Primo secures competitiveness and products that fulfil all quality requirements.

Thermoplastics components offer a wide range of advantages such as insulating ability, heat and corrosion resistance and design flexibility.

We are a world leader in combining metals (copper & aluminum) with plastic used in applications such as halogen-free profiles for lighting tracks and electrical connections.

Furthermore, we are a leading expert in optical properties of polymer materials with a dedicated business area and production facility, including polycarbonate (PC) and acrylic (PMMA).

New solutions, applications and raw materials are continuously developed. We have to work closely together with our customers to help them reach their goals, but also to secure our competence proactively. We want to be part of the customer's development as early as possible and act in a "consultant role" from an extrusion standpoint. This way, the profile is optimised for production and, priority number one, meets all customer requirements," says Group Commercial Director, Jaakko Salo, Primo.

For decades, Primo has produced busbars for customers in the lighting industry. The development started together with Nokia, known as Nordic Aluminium today. 

The major benefit of using extruded polymer profiles for lighting are insulation. Furthermore, the limited weight of plastics allows for lighter structure designs. Also, polymers such as acrylics (PMMA), have superior optical qualities that are better than glass, while polycarbonate (PC) has superior impact resistance and flammability values.

Another benefit is that it is possible to enhance raw material features such as UV-resistance, light diffusion, haze, chemical resistance – and even to combine different materials into a single profile that can substitute several components and fulfil multiple purposes.

The various types of plastics all have different structures that determine their properties, like rigid or soft, flexible, and so on. These characteristics, and their combinations, are limited only by the imagination.
