Features


  • Highly Diffuse Reflectance: Accuflect® IR offers superior diffuse reflectance, ensuring a uniformly illuminated area, which is ideal for infrared heating applications.

  • Versatile Application: Can be applied as flat panels for a planar source or shaped to focus illumination, providing flexibility in design and application.

  • High Temperature Tolerance: Capable of long-term use at temperatures up to 1200°C, surpassing the limitations of traditional metal reflectors.

  • No Active Cooling Required: The refractoriness of Accuflect® IR eliminates the need for active cooling of reflector surfaces, enhancing efficiency.

  • Enhanced Heating Efficiency: Radiosity from the warm reflector surfaces improves heating efficiency and acts as a recuperator for high-temperature emitters.

  • Optimal Reflectance Range: Exhibits optimal reflectance in the .76 micron to 2 micron NIR wavelengths, suitable for high energy and watt density emitters operating above 1000°C.

  • Electrical Insulation: Accuflect® IR serves as an electrical insulator, adding safety and functionality to its applications.

  • Fine Microstructure: Features a fine particle size and microstructure that ensures effective infrared photon reflection and refraction, even in sections as thin as 3 mm.

  • Available Sizes: Offered in sheets as thin as 3 mm and can be shaped into components as large as 75 mm square by 450 mm long, catering to various project needs.
