Infrared cameras detect infrared radiation emitted by objects, and they work best when the camera's detector is maintained at a lower temperature than the objects being observed. Coldshields are a crucial component in achieving this thermal isolation. ORO79 outshines High Reflectivity in the Infrared Region: ORO79 provides a barrier that helps to reduce the radiative heat reaching the detectors from the Dewar walls or other warmer parts of the assembly. Thermal Conductivity: ORO79 has excellent thermal conductivity to dissipate heat away from the sensitive sensor components, extending performance and extending its operational lifespan. Corrosion Resistance: ORO79 is resistant to corrosion and oxidation, which is particularly important for systems used in harsh environments, where exposure to moisture, high temperatures, or corrosive substances may be an issue. Durability and Longevity: The durability of ORO79 and its ability to withstand harsh conditions makes it ideal for infrared systems, ensuring the long-term reliability and performance, particularly in critical applications such as surveillance or defense. ORO79 delivers performance, reliability, and durability of coldhsields used in Infrared cameras making it a critical consideration for manufacturers in this field.
