Fluorilon-99W™

Fluorilon-99W™ is a stable white thermoplastic with extremely high diffuse reflectance. The material is both thermally (>300°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 as a 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.

Properties:

Greater than 99% reflectance in the 400-800 nm range
Reflectance of >97% over the 300-2200 nm range
Reflectance of >92% over the 200-2500 nm range
Easily machined into diffusely reflective components
Hydrophobic
Chemically inert
Thermally stable to 300°C
Durable and cleanable

Physical Properties:

Density: 1.5-1.6g/cm³
Porosity: 40-50 %
Pore size: typically 25-35 microns
Decomposition point: about 400°C
Toxicity: GRAS (non-toxic, same toxicity as Teflon)

Applications:

Flat panel backlights
Illuminator panels
Integrating spheres
Line and cylindrical scanners and illuminators
Reflective diffuser panels
Reflectance standards for laboratory and remote sensing applications
Lamp housings (xenon flash, tungsten, LEDs)
Collection spheres for fiber optic evaluation
Attenuators for fiber optics couplers

Fluorilon-99W is available in bulk in sizes up to 12" square and up to 2" thick. Price is dependent on size and quantity.
