ITO Coatings on Glass substrates
Diamond Coatings offer a full range of glass types and can provide expert advice on suitable glass substrates for different applications, depending on your own requirements.
ITO Glass Substrate Coating Options
DIAMOX ITO Coating – Using a low-temperature vacuum process, this coating is transparent and highly conductive. Diamond Coatings’ flexible substrate handling process allows flat, shaped and injection moulded parts to be coated. In addition to supplying fully machined glass parts, Diamond Coatings can also provide a coat free issue parts service.
DIAMOX+ index-matched ITO – Presenting all characteristics of the DIAMOX coating, DIAMOX+ index Matched coating permits considerably boosted light transmission in contrast to benchmark ITO Coatings.
As a multi-layer coating it amalgamates layers of metal oxides and quartz, the thickness is managed carefully to enhance transmission while removing unwanted reflection.
Anti-Reflective (AR) Coatings
Optical coatings utilized in processes using light passing through glass substrates. Formulated specifically to reduce reflection and eradicate stray light while increasing the performance of imaging systems.
AR coatings are adaptable and can be also be merged with other ITO coatings supporting an enhanced optical performance.
- DIAMOND-AR – Custom formulated for specific requirements
- DIAMOND-AR WET – Acrylic sheet with dipped AR coating giving an approximate reflection of 3%
- DIAMOND-AR VAC – Uses various wavelengths and gives an average reflection of 0.5%
- DIAMOND-AR COND – ITO conductive coating combined with multilayer AR
ITO Glass Substrates
Using the very latest in glass processing techniques, we supply the following glass substrates:
BK7 – This glass is a high-quality optical glass, it is a hard material and is used when the benefits of fused silica are not required. It can provide high transmission through the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet spectrum, such as prisms, windows, lenses and substrates for mirrors.
Fused Quartz – Is a corrosion-resistant, versatile, naturally occurring mineral which has a good electrical, optical, and thermal performance. It is created from crystalline quartz that has been melted and purified.
Fused Silica – Is a synthetic material with the highest temperature characteristic of any glass. It has a superior ultraviolet performance to natural quartz.
Fused Silica & Quartz are ideal for semiconductor optics and technical and laboratory equipment.
Borosilicate – Renowned for its superior durability and its low thermal expansion, Borosilicate glass is more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass. Used for flasks in laboratory settings, kitchenware, lighting, and TFT flat screens.
Soda Lime Glass or Toughened Soda Lime Glass – Also known as Window Glass. Soda Lime Glass is the least expensive type of glass and is chemically stable, hard, and workable as it can be softened multiple times whilst being fabricated and chemically strengthened. It can also be cut easier and is ideal for glass recycling.
