How it Works
What is sapphire repellency coating technology?
Aculon® patented sapphire repellency treatments are successful in environments characterized by difficult to access locations in extreme conditions or where high concentrations of oily residues and grimy deposits occur. Synthetic sapphire lenses are often expected to remain functional for sensitive optics and sensors without fouling for long periods of time without cleaning. Aculon® sapphire coatings enable proper function of these critical devices without significant and costly downtime for cleaning.
Hydrophobic Sapphire Coating Performance
Water droplets and contamination on sapphire substrates is a pressing issue for numerous markets where synthetic sapphire is utilized. Aculon® Sapphire repellency coatings will drastically increase the level of hydrophobicity (water repellency) of your sapphire substrate. By enabling water to bead and roll off sapphire substrates are kept free of water droplets, dust, dirt & other contaminants, critical for a majority of sapphire components which are utilized for optical applications.
Oleophobic Sapphire Coating Performance
Water droplets and contamination on sapphire substrates is a pressing issue for numerous markets where synthetic sapphire is utilized. Aculon® Sapphire repellency coatings will drastically increase the level of hydrophobicity (water repellency) of your sapphire substrate. By enabling water to bead and roll off sapphire substrates are kept free of water droplets, dust, dirt & other contaminants, critical for a majority of sapphire components which are utilized for optical applications.
Oil & Gas Applications for Sapphire
Synthetic sapphire is used extensively in the oil and gas industry for sensors, viewports and other applications. These sapphire parts operate in extreme environments and often are not in an easily serviced scenerio for cleaning of contamination: a downwell sensor for example. Aculon's repellency coating technology for sapphire is extremely robust and has been proven in numerous oil & gas applications in the most aggressive of environments.
