Specialty Formulations

Most of our Specialty Formulations are listed above and have their own Shop Now Category. Our ESD Formula is recommended when cleaning static-sensitive surfaces such as CCD and CMOS sensors that are not mounted or grounded. The ESD Formula polymer employs carbon nanotubes to create a small amount of electrical connectivity to the polymer. Our ESD Formula dries much slower than our other formulas, and even when dry the film will stretch although adhesion is low as normal. After ~24 hours the dry fill will become tough, however it is not necessary to wait this long to peel the dry film unless the film is very thin and tears while stretching.

Proven Results

Sequential progression First Contact cleaning BRDF test.
[LIGO / Caltech / MIT]

When your interferometer needs to measure movement thousands of times smaller than a proton, your system’s optical components must be completely free of contamination and residue in order to perform with unprecedented precision. Learn how First Contact outperforms traditional drag wipe cleaning methods, ensuring a pristinely clean, protected surface.
