Large Area Coatings

Heat-reflecting automobile glass can effectively reflect infrared rays of sunlight (20% to 25%) and hence keep heats off the automobile while at the same time allowing a high level of light transmittance. 

We offer a broad range of commonly used targets for this industry: Ag, Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Ni:Cu, Ni:Cr, Si, Sn and Zn.

Low-E glass coatings are microscopically thin, virtually invisible, metal or metallic oxide layers deposited on a window or skylight glazing surface primarily to reduce the U-factor by suppressing radiative heat flow. The principal mechanism of heat transfer in multilayer glazing is thermal radiation from a warm pane of glass to a cooler pane. Coating a glass surface with a low-emittance material and facing that coating into the gap between the glass layers blocks a significant amount of this radiant heat transfer, thus lowering the total heat flow through the window. Low-E coatings are transparent to visible light.

The adopted targets primarily include large-size planar targets and rotary targets.

Currently we can supply the following rotary targets: TiOx and Si:Al. The targets can be plasma sprayed on every existing backing tube.
