Ultra BlackTM Coating

  • MWIR-LWIR
  • For extreme long wave IR
  • Typical application: cryogenics cooled IR detectors, remote sensing, LWIR cameras and space telescopes
  • Essentially zero outgassing
  • Maintain high emissivity also at cryogenic temperatures
  • Vacuum and thermal-vacuum cycling compatible
