Description
Accuflect® IR Infrared Reflectors are at the forefront of innovation in the realm of infrared technology. These reflectors are engineered to provide exceptional diffuse and low-loss reflection of near infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (mid-IR) radiation. Unlike traditional metallic specular reflectors, which often fall short in performance, Accuflect® IR offers a superior alternative, especially beneficial in infrared heating applications. The unique ceramic material of Accuflect® IR ensures a uniformly illuminated area, making it a reliable choice for various industrial needs.
The versatility of Accuflect® IR is one of its standout features. It can be utilized as flat panels to serve as a planar source or can be custom-shaped to concentrate illumination in specific areas. This adaptability is complemented by its refractory nature, allowing it to withstand high temperatures up to 1200°C, surpassing the capabilities of traditional metal reflectors. This high-temperature tolerance means that there is no need for active cooling of the reflector surfaces, enhancing efficiency and reducing maintenance needs.
Another significant advantage of Accuflect® IR is its optimal reflectance in the .76 micron to 2 micron NIR wavelengths, which is characteristic of high energy and high watt density emitters operating above 1000°C. This makes it ideal for high-temperature applications where efficiency is paramount. Additionally, being an electrical insulator adds to its appeal, offering safety and reliability in various environments. The fine particle size and microstructure of Accuflect® IR ensure effective reflection even in thin sections, making it a compact yet powerful solution for infrared reflection needs.
Available in sheets as thin as 3 mm and in shaped components up to 75 mm square by 450 mm long, Accuflect® IR provides flexibility in design and application. Its ability to maintain excellent low-loss, diffuse reflectance, as demonstrated in various reflectance curves, makes it a leading choice for industries seeking efficiency and performance in infrared applications.
