DSI launches high-temperature spectral metal

Deposition Sciences (DSI) has announced an addition to its dichroic hybrid spectral metal product line: high-temperature spectral metal.

Coated onto thin stainless steel sheets via DSI's Microdyn sputtering technology, the metal can withstand extremely high temperature ranges, up to 400C.

DSI's entire spectral metal product range, including UV spectral metal (for UV curing and UV printing applications) is now available in this higher-temperature version.

The coated stainless steel sheets, like the rest of the spectral metal product family, can be cut and formed to specific sizes and various shapes, depending on customer requirements.

Mounting features, such as slots, screw holes and tabs, can be formed into the mirror after the coating is applied.

The sized mirrors can be formed into precise curves and cylinders with radii as small as 25 mm.

These features reduce the complexity and cost of assembly into the finished product.

With the ability to fabricate after coating, long-trough reflectors for inline exposure systems can be created using multiple lengths of spectral metal.

These long sheets are placed in a frame to hold their shape, permitting the fabrication of reflectors several metres in length.

DSI's Microdyn sputtering technology yields high performance and highly durable, uniform spectral metal coatings.

The coatings remain stable in extreme environments, over both temperature and humidity changes.
