Metal Coated Mirrors

Metal Coated Mirrors LE-1 Low Enissivity Coating
Description
This coating is a low thermal emission systems. The coating is made of thin gold applied to a relatively non-magnetic base layer of chrome, stabilized chrome/nickel alloy, or a proprietary oxide. The coating has low thermal conductivity, making it an effective choice for cryogenic cabling and heat pipes. The LE-1 coating is usually used to control thermal losses in devices operating at 4 to 10 degrees Kelvin.

Features	Applications
High Infrared Reflection Low Infrared Emission Low Thermal Conductivity Electrical Shielding Reliable Adhesion Flexibility	Military Optics Fiber Optic Components Satellite Components Cryogenic Detectors Cryogenic Devices Laser Diodes

Specifications
Each layer is less than 0.1 microns thick. Typical computed hemispherical emissivity is less than 3% for cold sources (Far IR). LE-1 systems can be applied to metals, glass, ceramics, plastics and epoxy resins.
