Coating & Surface Technology

With polymer optics, in addition to the optical porperties, coatings also serve to protect the surfaces against mechanical, chemical, or other environmental influences and to improve their cleaning possibilities.

The peculiarities of plastic as a material and the fabrication via injection-molding call for consideration of the total process from the beginning of product conception.  Considerations must be made during component design, fabrication, coating, assembly, storage, packaging and transportation as well as for necessary measurement and testing technology.

We offer our customer:

• Selection of suitable plastics and coatings
• Consultation, development of coatings, measurement and test technology
• Metallisation (e.g. gold or aluminum) for reflectors and mirrors
• Dielectrical layers (mirrors, AR-coatings, filters, beam splitters)
• Measurement of optical, mechanical, or climatic layer characteristics
