Industrial Components and Commercial Aerospace - Flame and Gas Detection

Industrial Components and Commercial Aerospace - Flame and Gas Detection

Industries which are involved in manufacturing, processing, transporting and storing flammable materials now need reliable and quick response fire detection systems.  If a fire is detected at the early stages, it is easier to extinguish which saves lives.  With this in mind, fire detection systems, especially optical flame detection units are the best method of detection.  Our coatings offer superior performance and are custom tailored to our customer’s requirements to enable this technology.  

Materion Barr Precision Optics understands the optical filter needs of the optical fire/flame detection market and has the necessary capacity to support the growth of the market.  Our coating facility is a worldwide leader in optical filters for the fire/flame detection.  We offer optical coatings on a variety of Infrared substrates used from the UV to the Far IR.  Typical materials coated include Germanium, Silicon, Fused Silicon and Sapphire.  Our coating chambers employ planetary-based motion for even uniformity distribution.  Our chambers support high volume production at an effective cost.  

Some of the benefits of using our coatings include the following:

  • Excellent Surface Quality
  • High Temperature and Environmental Durability
  • Excellent Spectral Uniformity over the entire work piece
  • Repeatable band shape from Lot to Lot
  • High Transmission
  • RoHS Compliant Coatings
  • Development and Production volumes supported   

Key Applications:

  • Oil and Gas Pipelines
  • Off Shore Platforms
  • Refineries
  • Mining Operations
  • Turbine Enclosures
  • Automotive Manufacturing Facilities
  • Aircraft Hangers
  • Nuclear Facilities
  • Hydrogen-Filling Stations
  • Munition Plants
  • Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessels
