4. Coating Quality

The Laser Ranging Filters undergo strict quality control to ensure long-lasting performance in demanding applications:

• Adhesion Test: Adheres to MIL-C-675C military standards. The adhesion test involves applying tape that meets LT-90 specifications to the lens film layer, followed by removal, with no blistering or peeling observed after three repetitions.
• Temperature Test: Filters are exposed to temperatures ranging from -62±1℃ to 71±1℃, followed by re-testing at room temperature (16℃–32℃). No film detachment occurs after testing.
• Abrasion Resistance Test: Conforms to MIL-C-675C and CCC-C-440 standards, applying a minimum force of 1.0 lbs (0.45 kg) to the film. The test is repeated 25 times with no damage to the film surface.
• Humidity Test: The filters undergo testing in a controlled chamber with a temperature set to 49±2℃ and 95%-100% humidity for 24 hours. The film remains intact, with no peeling or scratches.
• Solvent and Cleaning Testing: Filters are tested with acetone and alcohol for at least 10 minutes each, followed by air drying and cleaning. No peeling or scratches are observed after cleaning.
• Salt Spray Test: The filters are subjected to a 35°C environment with a 5% saltwater concentration for 100 hours, with no damage observed, ensuring their resistance to corrosive environments.
