Beaver Luminescers are used in a variety of manufacturing applications
to create economical marking media for visual inspection and
luminescence sensing equipment.
For
visual inspection of materials, Beaver Luminescers provide a
fluorescent mark which is invisible under ordinary light and
intensely visible under U.V. light. For example, low concentrations
of Beaver Luminescers mixed with adhesives permit visual inspection
of proper adhesive coverage during manufacture without defacing
the finished goods. At the end of the manufacturing process,
invisible marks made with Beaver Luminescers do not require labor
intensive removal.
Beaver Luminescers also provide an excellent registration mark for luminescence
sensors which are able to handle more demanding applications
than traditional photoelectric contrast sensors. By switching
from contrast sensors to luminescence sensors registering Beaver Luminescers, productivity can be increased in demanding applications,
such as where the mark must remain invisible or where the background
is irregular or does not provide adequate contrast. Typical applications
include sensing tamper-evident seals, clear labels, invisible
registration marks, adhesives and coatings, and quality control
applications.
Beaver Luminescers are also used in the detection of cracks and leaks.
Beaver Luminescers were used to inspect electrical potting compounds
aboard the Apollo spacecraft and the Lunar Excursion Module,
and are now being used aboard the International Space Station.
Beaver Luminescers also absorb U.V. wavelengths and protect plastics
film and other matrices from U.V. degradation.
Artwork and Design
Beaver Luminescers
can be incorporated into paint, plastic and textiles to produce
long lasting, intensely fluorescent special effects in all colors
of the visible spectrum. These special effects include stunning
invisible treatments, dual images, starscapes and day-to-night
effects in artwork, fashions, theatrical costumes and scenery.
Beaver Luminescers and U.V. spot lighting also produce captivating
billboards, signs and other advertising. |
