Thanks to more than fifty years of experience in the areas of thin film
technology and vacuum technology, Umicore Thin Film Products is one of the
leading partners worldwide for materials for optical and ophthalmic applications.
Umicore Thin Film Products offers a range of products unique in the industry.
Umicore’s in-depth technical know-how is based on over 50 years
of experience in the development of coating materials for optical applications.
Since the beginning we specialized in the making of well-defined blends
tailored to specific refractive index values and color effects. Besides
optimized refractive indices, our coating materials guarantee a well-defined
transparency range and show chemical and environmental stability.
Anti-reflective (AR) coatings reduce reflections and ghost images while
enhancing the transmission of light. This is especially important when
a large number of surfaces are used, as in microscopes, camera lenses
or endoscopes.
In addition we produce a wide range of applications which serve in the
infrared range, in lighting systems, laser technology, projection systems,
and even in medical applications such as mirrors, band pass filters for
information technology, and more. A hydrophobic topcoat reduces the effect
of fingerprints or other residues and simplifies the cleaning of lenses
considerably. Our wide range of products guarantees the best possible
coating on all available substrates in this industry. Our different mixtures
for adhesion layers help to achieve outstanding AR coatings.
Umicore Thin Film Products, as an industry leader for optical coating
materials, offers unmatched technical support capabilities, either online
or on-site.
