Nano BlackTM Coating

  • Low reflectance in UV and VIS combined with high reflectance in IR
  • Typical applications: space, quantum atomic clocks, thermal passive managements (space and other), wafer level optics
  • Selective black coating
  • Low infrared emissivity
  • Exthremely thin - typically below 1.5µm

Typical Properties

nano black coating reflectance chart

Nano Black is applied for thermal passive management (space and other), wafer-level optics, and highly precise instrumentation like atomic clocks.

In addition to its unique optical performance, Nano Black delivers many other attributes important in space applications:

  • Low outgassing
  • Operating temperatures from (-)70°C to (+)200°C
  • No particulation
  • The coating thickness ≤ 1.5 µm
Adhesion
Metals, glass, ceramics, polymers
Adhesion test (ref ECSS-Q-ST-13C)
Coated pieces withstand scotch tape test (3M853 Crystal Clear tape, strength of 13N per 25mm), without any evidence of coating removal.
