Fluorilon-99W™ is a stable white thermoplastic with extremely high diffuse reflectance. The material is both thermally (>300 degrees C), physically, and chemically stable to all but the most hostile environments. The sintered PTFE product has been employed in a number of space applications asa calibration target. The primary use is as a component in reflective optical systems where the highest diffuse reflectance possible is required.
Beginning March 2005, we will begin selling bulk Fluorilon FW-99 for prototyping work on a small basis. Please call or e-mail us for available sizes, price, and delivery.
