Fluorilon-99W

Fluorilon-99W™ is a sintered PTFE material with the highest diffuse reflectance of any known material. The material is both thermally (>300°C), physically, and chemically stable to all but the most hostile environments. It has been successfully used in a number of space applications as a calibration target.

The material is primarily used as a component in reflective optical systems where the highest diffuse reflectance possible is required.

Fluorilon-99W™ is available as a reflectance standard, or as bulk blocks or cylinders.

Properties

• Greater than 99% reflectance in the 400-800 nm range
• Reflectance of >97% over the 300-2200 nm range
• Reflectance of >92% over the 200-2500 nm range
• Hydrophobic
• Chemically inert
• Thermally stable to 300°C
• Durable and cleanable

Fluorilon standards are available as 1.25″ (32 mm) or 2″ (50.8 mm) diameter disks, with a Delrin™ holder and protective cover. Larger targets (up to 10″ square in single piece, up to 48″ square/ 1200 mm as arrays) are also available, as are custom sizes.

Fluorilon is also easily machined into almost any shape; see the bulk fluorilon section or contact us for more information.

Bulk Fluorilon

Fluorilon-99W is available in bulk in sizes up to 10″ x 10″ x 1″. Contact us to discuss your specific application.

Fluorilon can be machined into almost any shape. Our machinists have extensive experience with the nuances of machining Fluorilon; however, we also provide a guide for machining Fluorilon if you choose to engage your own machining facility.
