Standard Filter

| UV range | Visible range | IR range |
| The short-wave cut-off location can only be influenced by the different types of glass. |
The coating only induces a mirroring effect. technical modifications are barelyor not offered. |
There is hardly any reduction in the IR range, whitch is why the heat emission is very high. |
| There is no protective coating whitch prevents solarisation. |
||
| The maximum transmittance in the UV range is < 88% |

Opcoms filters and possible modifications

| UV range | Visible range | IR blocking |
| The cut-off location is adjustable by using different coatings. The stepness of the transmittance curve at the cut-off location can be influenced. The result is 25% more UV withhin the sameTE time. |
Color rendering and image are variable. A maximum blocking of under 3% is possible. The polarisation is variable. |
Even low blockings in the IR range perceptably reduce heat emission through the filter. A maximum blocking of up to 2500 nm is possible. |
| Intermediate blockings are possible to exclude selected UV ranges. |
||
| A special coating in the range of 280 nm ensures that no solarisation occurs. By using antireflection coatings transmittance in the UV range of 96% can be reached. |

Advantages of Opcoms: Filters you won't find anywhere else.
Technology
- Filters for all ranges (UV, VIS, IR) developed to customer's specifications
- Large dimensions possible (e.g. 950 x 360)
- No solarisation throughout life span
- Available thermally or chemically tempered
- Curved filter panes possible
Marketing
- Customized branding on the filter pane
- Appearance of the filter pane adjustable in off-state (silver, gold) and
on-state (blue, green, red) - Competitive edge in market
Advantage for the manufacturer and the operator of the tanning salon
- Due to filter panes with very good blocking effects in the IR range expensive
glass reflectors are dispensable - Cooler acrylic surfaces conserve the material
- Confortable temperatures of the tanning bed (extended tanning time possible)
- Less ventilation necessary (the device is quiter and more conffortable)
- Air conditionings can be reduced extensively
- Cooling of the salon can considerably be reduced
- The use of cooling components and their complex developments is minimized
- High energy saving due to the dispensability of cooling devicesand ventilations
Subject to technical changes.
