BERAL™

Beral™ is a hard metalic coating for front surface mirrors. Its reflective properties are quite similar to those of Aluminum. The average reflectance is 91% in the visible spectrum. Beral™ is much harder than pure Aluminum and can be easily cleaned and maintained. Beral™ was developed exclusively by H. L. Clausing Inc. for use on astronomical telescope mirrors.

Typical uses for Beral™ are:

Astronomical Mirrors
Photographic Imaging
CCD Imaging
Reflections at Grazing Incidence ( No Prismatic Dispersion with White Light )
Kaleidoscopes
Microscopes
Interferometers
Scanners
Most Front Surface Mirror Applications
