Ultra Violet Reflectivity

      Optiforms manufactures many different thin film coatings. The coatings represented in these charts are just a small sample of the coatings that we can apply. Our optical thin film coatings can be specified based on performance at a specific wavelength and the performance of an optical thin film coating can be affected by the geometry of the part to be coated. Coating performance can be affected by the angle of incidence and the specific angle at which the coating is tested.

If you have any questions, please contact our Sales Department for assistance.

Protected Aluminum for UV

     This coating is used where ultraviolet reflectivity of aluminum is required. A protective thin film is applied over aluminum to enhance reflectivity in ultraviolet wavelengths.

Aluminum MgF2

     This coating is used where the ultraviolet reflectivity of aluminum is required. The magnesium fluoride overcoat retards oxidation and provides abrasion protection. The moderate cost is somewhat offset by the more sensitive care required in cleaning and maintaining the surface.
