Why is Siltek® on glass gold in color?- The color of a surface coating is an expression of the light diffraction qualities and thickness of the layer.
- The thickness of a Siltek® layer
determines the degree of darkness, secondary reflectivity, and/or final color of the item.
- The color can range from light golden-brown (thin coatings) to reflective silver (heavier coatings).
We deposit a layer that provides a gold color on sleeves to aid analysts in inspecting for cleanliness. Chromatographic performance does not depend on the thickness of the layer.
