Platek: Full Dry System

16.12.2014

Platek’s Full-Dry system is used in recessed products and consists of a resin coating of the cable entry area, preventing condensation inside the luminaire. The area where the external and internal cables are connected is embedded in resin to prevent the ingress of moisture, even under critical conditions, e.g. when the light cools down after being switched off. This is why Platek appliances come with their own power cables to prevent error during installation.

The full-dry system guarantees:

- IP68 protection rating

- prevention of the formation of condensation inside the glass when the appliance is switched off

Platek makes highly resistant fittings that are guaranteed to work for a long time in even the harshest of conditions. This is the result of the philosophy of a company that aims to add to functionality, flexibility and performance the equally important element of durability. A guarantee seen not only as an assured operation and added value through time, but also as a necessary complement to sources of artificial light in different climates and settings.

To achieve this result Platek uses materials featuring excellent mechanical and functional properties (die-cast aluminium, which is lightweight yet performs brilliantly) and high resistance (AISI 316 stainless steel and bronze). The materials also undergo special processes to enhance their chemical resistance (anodisation, zinc-plating, chroming) and mechanical resistance (hardening and tempering). Platek uses electrical components supplied by leading manufacturers to ensure the utmost performance in terms of engineering and long life.
