4. Coating Quality

The Laser Radar Windows undergo rigorous quality control to meet industry standards for optical performance:

  • Adhesion Test: Adheres to MIL-C-675C military standards. The adhesion test involves applying a tape that meets LT-90 specifications, which is affixed and removed vertically three times, ensuring no blistering or peeling.
  • Temperature Test: Mirrors are exposed to temperatures of -62±1℃ and 71±1℃. After exposure and re-testing at room temperature (16℃–32℃) for two hours, no film detachment occurs.
  • Abrasion Resistance Test: Compliant with MIL-C-675C and CCC-C-440 standards, applying 1.0 lbs (0.45 kg) of force using a gauze tester, repeated 25 times without damage.
  • Humidity Test: The windows undergo testing in a controlled environment set to 49±2℃ and 95%-100% humidity for 24 hours, with no peeling or scratches observed.
  • Solvent and Cleaning Testing: The windows are exposed to acetone and alcohol for 10 minutes each. After air drying and cleaning with alcohol, no surface peeling or scratches appear.
  • Salt Spray Test: Tested in a 35°C environment with a 5% saltwater concentration for 100 hours, showing no signs of damage.
