Black Formula Polymer for Backside Reflection Hiding
Transparent substrates introduce challenges in optical metrology, interferometry, and microscopy. Backside reflections reduce signal to noise, are recorded as artifacts, or introduce false signals. These reflections often need to be suppressed, however many uses require the use of a removable anti-reflection (AR) coatings.
Smooth Finish Ensures Optimal Reflection Hiding
Our customers know Photonic Cleaning Technologies has created several specialized polymer formulations, so it was no surprise when we were asked if we could develop a polymer to hide backside reflections while still providing the ability to clean the substrate to the molecular level. Our Black First Contact fills that requirement! The polymer has already been successfully deployed with several companies and is available for purchase in kit and bulk bottle form. The polymer is slightly more viscous than our other non-spray polymers and the dry film will not look smooth like car paint and was never intended to do so, however, the polymer on the substrate surface will be smooth to hide reflections. If the bubbles don't allow for a continuous black film apply a second coat to the substrate.
Dual-Functionality for Enhanced Optics
Our Black Formula Polymer is a breakthrough product that not only cleans to the molecular level but also effectively hides backside reflections. This dual functionality makes it an indispensable tool in ensuring the highest quality optical performance. Developed in response to industry requests, this specialized polymer provides a solution that combines high-level substrate cleaning with enhanced optical efficiency.
Trusted and Proven in Real-World Applications
Several companies have already deployed our Black Formula Polymer with success, adhering to its reputation as a dependable and effective lens cleaner and lens cleaning solution. Available for purchase in both kit and bulk bottle form, it caters to diverse application needs, from small-scale to industrial use.
