Enhanced Aluminum Metallic Mirror Coating
EMF offers a broad range of aluminum metallic mirror coatings for first surface mirrors and second surface mirrors across a wide wavelength range. Aluminum coated mirrors are an excellent option for many general broadband applications. Because bare aluminum is very susceptible to damage, a protective SiO2 overcoat is applied over the aluminum coating to enhance the durability of the coating. A protected or enhanced aluminum coating has less chance of tarnishing than protected silver in a high humidity environment while providing good reflectance. So, in many cases, an aluminum metallic mirror coating is preferred over a protected silver coating.
