Handling & Care of Optical
Filters
and Components
 It
is important to closely follow the recommended handling, storage,
and cleaning instructions with all optically related products in
order to ensure their proper performance. Dontech provides a range
of product service bulletins to assist our customers in the handling,
cleaning, and inspection of optical products.
The quality of optical filters can be compromised
by improper storage, cleaning, and handling. Many types to contaminants
such as residual oils, acids, or solvents, can permanently damage
coatings and substrates. Dontech cleans and packages its products
to minimize the possibility of damage during shipment and the need
for ancillary cleaning. Custom packaging is available to address
needs ranging from clean room to static sensitive requirements.
Dontech provides “hands on” training
to instruct customers on the proper methods for cleaning and handling
filters, as well as the following relevant literature:
1) Product Service Bulletins – Instructions
for the Handing, Cleaning and Storage of Optical Filters. There
are specific instructions for different product families.
2) Customer Tutorial – Inspecting, Cleaning
and Handling of Optical Filters. Note: Training can be conducted
at customer’s facility.
