Specac Window Polishing Kit

A complete professional system for restoring and resurfacing fogged or scratched infrared windows, extending their operational life

Product Overview

The Specac Window Polishing Kit is a critical maintenance asset for any laboratory performing transmission spectroscopy. Hygroscopic materials like KBr and NaCl are prone to surface fogging from atmospheric moisture, which leads to light scattering and degraded spectral quality. This kit provides all the tools necessary to resurface these optics to a near-mirror finish, saving the lab the significant cost of frequent window replacement.The kit includes a high-quality glass polishing plate, specialized abrasive compounds, and self-adhesive polishing pads. By following a simple manual protocol, users can remove surface imperfections and restore the clear optical path required for high-sensitivity measurements. It is a sustainable and cost-effective solution for maintaining peak spectrometer performance
