IP68 Silicone Neon Flex

Fully submersible, chlorine- and UV-resistant silicone neon flex for underwater, outdoor and architectural installations.

Artcolor's IP68 Silicone Neon Flex is a water-resistant flexible LED neon lighting line built for underwater, outdoor and architectural projects that require true IP68 integrity. High-grade, extrusion-molded silicone co-extrusion keeps the LED encapsulation hermetically sealed against continuous submersion, chlorine and UV exposure, maintaining structural integrity, color consistency and continuous, dot-free illumination.

Why specify IP68 Silicone Neon Flex

True IP68 Protection

The absolute pinnacle of ingress protection: zero dust penetration and structural integrity for continuous, long-term underwater immersion under extreme pressure.

Advanced Co-Extrusion

The LED PCB and optical diffusers are integrated within a high-strength, transparent silicone body, delivering perfectly diffused, dot-free continuous light.

Beyond Standard Waterproofing

While IP67 survives temporary splashes, IP68 is required for permanent underwater installations, with specialized silicone providing resistance to chlorine and pool chemicals.

Chemical & Chlorine Resistance

High-grade silicone prevents the yellowing, cracking, and degradation seen in standard plastics when exposed to chlorine or pool chemicals.

Complex Architectural Contours

Provides the flexibility needed for curved architectural outlines, organic shapes, and custom signage where rigid fixtures fail.

Long-Term Reliability

Robust construction reduces maintenance costs, ensuring long-term reliability in inaccessible or high-labor-cost installation areas.

Questions

What does IP68 mean for silicone neon flex?

IP68 indicates the highest level of protection. "6" means it is completely dust-tight. "8" means the silicone neon flex is protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water under pressure, making it perfectly safe for wet and submerged environments.

Can IP68 silicone neon flex be used underwater?

Yes. It is specifically designed for underwater applications such as pool neon LED lighting, fountains, and water features. The hermetically sealed silicone body prevents water ingress.

How deep can it be submerged?

Typically, IP68 neon flex is rated for submersion up to 1.5 to 2 meters (approx. 5 to 6.5 feet). For deeper installations, consult the engineering team for custom pressure-rated solutions.

Chlorine corrosion resistance — what matters?

Standard plastics degrade in chlorine. This chlorine-resistant silicone neon is extruded from a specialized chemical-resistant compound that prevents the outer casing from yellowing, cracking, or becoming brittle in pool environments.

Can it be cut on site?

While it has defined cut marks, field-cutting IP68 strips is generally discouraged unless performed by experienced professionals using factory-approved injection sealing kits. Improper sealing will void the IP68 rating; ordering custom pre-cut and pre-sealed lengths is highly recommended.

What voltage options are typical?

24V DC is primarily supplied for architectural installations to minimize voltage drop over longer runs. 12V DC is also available for projects requiring shorter, more frequent cutting intervals.

Need a custom ip68 silicone neon flex?

Voltage, CCT, CRI, PCB width, IP construction, reel length and packaging are configured per project. Send us your application and we will recommend a model and prepare samples.
