Potassium Bromide Window (KBr) Dia. 25.4 mm x Thk. 5.0 mm, Uncoated FAQs

Q1: What are the key material properties of Potassium Bromide Window (KBr) Dia. 25.4 mm x Thk. 5.0 mm, Uncoated ?

A1: Potassium Bromide (KBr) is a highly transparent crystalline material that offers wide spectral transmittance from about 0.2 µm to 25 µm. With a relatively low hardness, KBr is susceptible to scratches and is notably hygroscopic, requiring moisture protection. Its refractive index is approximately 1.53 at 10 µm. KBr windows also exhibit good internal homogeneity and low inclusions, making them suitable for infrared spectroscopy applications.

Q2: How should this product be handled and stored?

A2: Given the hygroscopic nature of KBr, the windows should be handled with clean gloves and minimal direct contact. They must be stored in a low-humidity environment, ideally in a desiccator or sealed container with desiccant packs. Avoid exposure to moisture, as it can degrade surface quality. Additionally, prevent mechanical stress, as KBr is brittle and easily chipped during improper handling or mounting.

Q3: Which quality standards and certifications apply to Potassium Bromide Window (KBr) Dia. 25.4 mm x Thk. 5.0 mm, Uncoated ?

A3: These KBr windows are typically manufactured under rigorous ISO 9001 quality management systems to ensure consistent optical performance and dimensional accuracy. They may also meet compliance criteria such as RoHS or REACH, depending on the supplier’s specifications. In-house or third-party interferometric testing is often conducted to verify surface quality, wavefront distortion, and parallelism. Additional certifications, like a certificate of compliance, are provided to confirm meeting customer requirements.
