Black epoxy coatings
Elevating Optical Performance with Tailored Solutions / Customized Coating Solutions for Superior Performance
Black coatings are essential for optical applications such as telescopes, cameras, spectrometers, and laser systems, serving to suppress stray light and minimizing optical reflections. These coatings are engineered with materials that exhibit high absorption across a broad spectral range and are applied to surfaces within optical systems to minimize unwanted light. This significantly enhance image quality, measurement accuracy, and overall system performance. In comparison to other coating types, black epoxy coatings stand out for combining optical performance, versatility, and cost-effectiveness and can be efficiently applied with a variety of standard dispensing methods.
They are particularly effective in high-volume applications and deliver reliable coating performance while maintaining consistent optical properties. Whether for facilitating apertures in imaging and sensing systems, minimizing stray-light in augmented reality waveguides or advancing precision in scientific instruments, black epoxy coatings offer a robust solution for diverse optical challenges.
