Retrolite Brand Reflectors
Retrolite Brand high temperature retroreflective targetUse - The "RETROLITE" Brand High Temperature Retroreflective Target is designed for use as a permanent photoelectric target where ambient temperatures are as high as 900°F. The target will retrodirect light in the entire visible spectrum as well as in the infrared. Industrial applications are found in injection molding installations, foundries, bakeries, heat treat facilities, conveyor lines, paper and textile mills and safety interlock systems. Physical Characteristics - Temperature resistance: Constant exposure to 900°F (480°C). 4" x 4" (100 mm x 100 mm). Thickness is nominally .020" (.51mm) with margins embossed to overall depth of nominally .060" (1.5mm). Color: Matte silver gray under ambient light. Brightness: Expressed as times brighter than a perfectly diffusing white surface, the rating is 500X. Installation - Mount with screws, rivets, clips, or frame. The metal target can be punched and cut without impairing the reflective quality, but exercise reasonable care in handling to avoid severe flexing or abrasion. Wash with detergent to remove oil film after handling. If oil or water is likely to accumulate, the reflective target can be protected with a glass plate and sealed. |
