Optical Coating Materials
Materion is a premier producer of consistent, high-purity optical coating materials. In a field where many specialty optical thin film materials are notoriously difficult to manufacture reliably, Materion continues to produce the highest quality, most dependable products available. We combine our unwavering quality with superior technical support and competitive pricing to provide our customers with the best value in the industry.
Enabling Technology
Drawing upon our 50+ years of experience in producing specialty inorganics, refined metals and critical alloys for sputtering and evaporation, Materion is a solid partner - at any scale - for the diverse and challenging optical coatings market. We combine broad sales support with a strong technical base and strive to produce the best materials at the right price for a variety of optical coating processes:
• Sputtering targets are available with special features like optimized microstructures and ultra-high purity levels to improve process performance
• Pre-melted oxide evaporation materials reduce process start up time, improve equipment utilization and limit operator dependence
• High purity pellets, along with advanced reclamation and recycling processes, “close the loop” on your high-value metals needs
• Careful control and isolation of standard coating materials or custom mixtures improves our ability to scale up and supply increasingly complex compounds at high volumes
Our experts are ready to help identify new solutions that can help you optimize your optical coating process.
