Maintenance
Condensates such as oil, grease, as well as smoke will degrade the reflectivity of the reflector. In addition, like all optical products, our retro-reflectors need to be kept clean in order to operate correctly as well as maintain reflectivity. Furthermore, any material applied to the front of the reflector will likely severely degrade the reflective properties of the target.
Cleaning of the reflective surface is possible to remove light contaminants, e.g.:
- Heavy deposits will likely not be removable.
- Clean target by wiping with a clean dry tissue or lint-free wipe.
- If soils, oils, as well as debris, accumulate that cannot be easily brushed or blown off, use a detergent wash with a water rinse.
- If oil, water, as well as debris are likely to accumulate, protect retro-reflective targets with a glass plate and seal.
