Thiol-based optical polymers unleashing
the future of the display industry

Ares brings fundamental innovation to an industry held back
by materials developed more than 30 years ago

MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY

A NOVEL POLYMER SYSTEM

We are the world-leader in the development of high-performance thiol-based optical films and adhesives.

Our polymers technology enables a high degree of mechanical and optical tune-ability for a broad range of applications in the fast-evolving consumer electronics industry.

Our design toolkit allows to engineer “infinite” possibilities of polymer structures to precisely meet the application requirements.

INNOVATION

Over the past decades the optical films property space has rapidly evolved, outpacing the incremental modifications of +30 year old incumbent films technology.
The Ares Materials founding team identified the growing need for optical films with customizable mechanical and optical properties, and while thiol-based polymers have existed for decades in other industries, over the past few years Ares researchers have developed a new property understanding of thiol-based materials that for the first time makes them the perfect candidate to overtake the optical films and adhesive industry

PYLUX UNIQUENESS

UNPARALLELED OPTICS

All Pylux materials provide excellent optical properties in the visible spectrum. Its isotropic properties makes them ideal candidates for the display industry.

TUNABLE MECHANICS

From flexible substrates to tough elastomeric adhesives, the Pylux technology can be customized for applications ranging from traditional displays, foldable or rollable devices, to AR/VR headsets.

Total transmission > 92%
Haze < 0.5%
Yellow index < 0.5
Birefringence < 1
Refractive index 1.5 – 1.6
