Reflecon Tarnish 90 Piccolo Pen

Optimized for use with laser 3D scanners, Tarnish 90 by Reflecon was 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. Apart from the aerosol format, Tarnish 90 is also available in this ingenious Piccolo Pen format.

This practical and precise pen solution helps reach challenging areas and apply only the needed amount of Tarnish 90, ensuring a more efficient use and a smoother workflow, along with a mist-free application especially important in sensitive environments. The compact format makes it easy to bring anywhere for impromptu 3D scanning tasks. 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. 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.

Similarly to the aerosol format, the Tarnish 90 in Piccolo Pen format has a TiO₂- free solvent-based formula and it applies in a smooth and even layer of white powder (always onto a clean surface). Once the scanning is complete, the product can be easily removed with a cloth, a brush or water. Just like all Reflecon scanning solutions, this pen is ideal applications such as R&D, metrology, quality control, and reverse engineering.
