QRC - Infrared Emitters With Nano-Reflector

In contrast to conventional reflectors, the new nano-reflector is not made of gold or metal oxides but of opaque quartz glass. Quartz glass is extremely resistant to heat, acid, alkaline solutions and corroding substances. A gold coating on infrared emitters reflects the radiation very well - effective radiation onto the product is almost doubled. Measurements show that the reflectivity of opaque quartz material is about 60% to 70%. This is less than that of gold but comparable to a high-gloss polished aluminium reflector. However, an aluminium reflector will gradually lose its reflectivity as aluminium oxide is forming on its surface. Such oxides do not form on quartz glass.
