The Luxlink™.OG-1052 Optical Gel
has the refractive index of BK-7 glass and is close to the refractive index
of other frequently used glasses. As an optical couplant, it is used to
reduce or eliminate reflection losses. It is not recommended for use with
Acrylic as it is slightly incompatible at elevated temperatures. It is
normally opalescent / translucent but is clear in thin layers as it is
normally used. It is useable over a wide range of temperatures; freezing
point is less than 45 °C, boiling point is greater than 370 °C.
Sold in 0.4 oz containers. (Note we also have Optical Gel
with an index of 1.457for fiber optic cable OG-1001)
Price $78.00 USD exworks NY USA (ground
