Heraeus: Setting New Standards
When it comes to the mastery of lamp technology, competence, problem-solving potential and productivity all go by the name of Heraeus Noblelight.
It is not easy to be outstanding in the highly competitive international arena. And yet Heraeus Noblelight has been just that for over three decades thanks to its masterful grasp of fundamental technologies coupled with creativity and flexibility.
Heraeus Noblelight is a subsidiary of Heraeus Noblelight GmbH, one of the world's leading producers of Infrared and Ultraviolet solutions for the Specialty Lighting market.
 Heraeus: Applied Light
The energy radiated from the sun comprises the whole spectrum of visible and invisible light.
The different physical properties of chemical elements and materials cause each substance to respond to a very specific section of the sun irradiation (absorbing it). The remaining part either passes through the medium unhindered, or is reflected. This selective behavior opens up the possibility of producing targeted light processes.
The transfer of energy represents a particularly interesting capability of light (without contact and without assistance by a medium). This capability produces technologies that operate rapidly, simply and cleanly with light. Additionally, there are the environmentally friendly aspects: the possibility of tailor-making light spectra not only increases the efficiency but also saves energy. Light can initiate chemical reactions and thus can reduce the use of chemicals. Intensive UV radiation can "crack" chemical compounds that are not biologically and chemically degradable.
 Heraeus as High-tech
Heraeus Noblelight is one of the few specialists that can supply tailor-made light sources for the entire scientific and industrial spectrum--from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR)--for use in research, engineering, medicine, chemical analysis, production and environmental protection.
Part of the Heraeus company, Heraeus Noblelight is the expert for special technical and scientific lamps. The in-house research and development cooperates extensively with the R&D divisions of the other Heraeus areas, domestically and abroad. In this manner, synergistic effects are utilized with company-wide know how.
Special lamps require special quartz glass which is developed at Heraeus in-house and stems from their own production with high quality requirements. Also, the know how for the high-temperature processes of decisive importance in quartz lamp manufacture is available at Heraeus in-house. Highly modern test centers and comprehensive application engineering experience strengthen its performance potential.
