Re: Need help - InfraRed partially transparent plastics

Thanks for your response.
Are you sure?
What about Polyethylene?
Take into account that the optical quality is not important.

Hello

Please advice about low-cost plastic material which is transparent to
IR radiation (8-12um). Less than 50% transparency is sufficient.

Thanks a lot

Unless you are talking about very thin films, there really isn't any such
plastic. In fact, there isn't anything low cost. Reflective optics is often
the least expensive way to go.
