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
Specifications
Adhesion
Metals, glass, ceramics, polymers
Adhesion test (ref ECSS-Q-ST-13C)
Coated pieces withstand scotch tape test (3M853 Crystal Clear tape, strength of 13N per 25mm), without any evidence of coating removal.
