customer testimonials
"The foils were indeed impressive. We cut out specific shapes with our CNC machine and also did some manual cutting. For our planned application, the foil was perfect."
Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF), Kiruna, Sweden
"I was very impressed not to see ANY effect on the coating from shining onto it with up to 3500W of laser power in an 18mm diameter beam! It's definitely the blackest material I ever saw. Actually, it performs even better than the coating on the power meters I use, which tend to burn at these power levels."
David Toebaert - E.L.A.S NV
"We are delighted to inform you that one of the innovations developed in the integrated quantum clock project has been analyzed by the European Commission's Innovation Radar has identified Acktar Ltd as Key Innovator in the development of this innovation."
iqClock project, European Commission
