Reflecon Tarnish 90

The Tarnish 90 3D scanning spray from Reflecon is permament spray optimized for use with laser 3D scanners and designed for the purpose of matting challenging surfaces such as reflecting, mirroring, transparent, or dark areas and thus improving the scanning results. Due to the fact that it does not evaporate, this spray is ideal for lengthy scanning processes. Furthermore, the special quick drying formula makes the scanning process even more efficient.

Unlike the Tarnish 80 spray, Tarnish 90 does contain solvents but it is 100% free of titanium dioxide. Despite that, the Tarnish 90 spray still provides excellent optical properties and layer precision. This spray applies in a smooth and even white powder layer and once the scanning process is complete, the spray can be removed with just a cloth, a brush or water. For more tips on how to use this spray, visit the Usage Tips section. For reaching particularly challenging areas, Reflection also offers the Tarnish 90 spray in a practical Piccolo Pen format for a more efficient workflow.

Just like all Reflecon scanning sprays, the Tarnish 90 spray is ideal applications such as R&D, metrology, quality control, and reverse engineering. The compatible materials include ferrous materials like cast uncoated steel, non-coated non-ferrous materials such as cotton, glass, and ceramics, various plastics such as PE, PP and PA, as well as 2K coatings.

Before using Tarnish 90, it is essential to clean the scanned objects thoroughly to prevent residue on the surface. Detailed guidance on application and compatibility can be found in the Usage Tips section and a full compatibility table is available in the Downloads section.
