Optical Coatings

The core competencies of Optics Balzers are design and manufacturing of high precision dielectric and metal thin film optical coatings. Optics Balzers' coatings are characterized by excellent spectral performance, low defect density and superior environmental stability. The coatings are produced with state-of-the-art evaporation and sputtering equipment platforms with process and product specific adaptations. The coating processes are both customized to the specific product requirements and optimized for high yield production. Precise monitoring of the coating processes ensures consistent and high quality in volume manufacturing.

Gelot™ coatings

Gelot™ solderable coating
Gelot™ is a solderable gold based multilayer coating that can be applied to glass, fused silica, sapphire and crystals, as well as to ceramics and similar materials. Gelot™ is used in various bonding and sealing applications with optical glass components such as microlenses down to 1mm dia meter.

ITO coatings on plastic substrates

ITO-IMITO
Patterned Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) coatings are available as electrically conductive and optically transmissive thin films on glass or plastic substrates. The conductivities can be tailored in the range of 3Ω/squ – 1kΩ/squ.

TopFlex™ Hydrophobic Coatings

Schematic TopFlex™ Coating
Hydrophobic coating TopFlex™ is chemically resistant against water, oil and grease. This UV to IR transparent top-layer is easy to clean and also repellent to dirt. The coating exhibits a good adherence to the substrate and other coatings and is strongly resistant to various forms of cleaning processes.
