Flabeg

FLABEG RControl optically-coated anti-reflective glass can be manufactured in a variety of shapes. Finishing involving screen printing, laser technology or etching perfects the result.

RControl is used for plane glass:
Round glass: > D38 mm
Rectangular glass: > 30 mm x 30 mm
Free-form glass: > 38 mm x 38 mm

The advantages are there for all to see
• Well-conceived: functional, space-saving design, absolute design freedom
• Safe: anti-reflection level and light transmission of more than 99 %
• Outstanding layer adhesion
• Robust: scratchproof, resistant to chemicals, friction-resistant,
• and therefore constantly “like new”

Behind this production process lies the technology, magnetron sputtering. This is based on a continuous argon gas discharge, known as plasma. Low-pressure plasma is ignited by a high voltage of up to 1000 V. The target material attached to the magnetron is evaporated by a beam of argon ions and deposited onto the glass surface in a thin, even, compact layer. Unlike with this “non-reactive sputtering” (e.g. metal films), with “reactive sputtering” oxides or nitrides react with gases before they are deposited on the glass surface.
