Zinc Sulfide ZnS regular grade

Zinc Sulfide Regular Grade

Regular grade Zinc Sulfide is 50% harder than multispectral ZnS and is twice as hard as Zinc Selenide. ZnS is used in the 3 to 5 micron and 8 to 12.5 micron region and has a relatively low cost. It does not transmit well in the visible spectral region.

Zinc Sulfide uses include:

• IR windows and lenses
• Missile domes
• External windows
• Beam splitters
• Bandpass filters
• Multilayers

ZnS is available as:

Disks Domes - near net shape Sheets Windows Substrates Ultra-thin wafers

Custom diameters Rectangles CNC - profiled blanks Lens blanks Prisms Optical elements
