UV and Visible Transparent Polymers 3

[tsnigln]

I am looking for polymers that allow both UV and visible light through, but not IR. I would like it if the material would allow down to 200nm through. Is anyone aware of any such materials or where I might be able to find out more information about them?
Thanks

Yes

UV quartz will transmit below 200nm:

Pat sleeps? Next you'll be telling me he's a mortal like the rest of us.

Thanks for the warning about TPX price, wow.

That's what happens when they are sold out, have no expansion plans and have some very unique properties that makes it very difficult to substitute in most applications.

To me it would seem that COC would be one natural competitor to TPX and yet COC has never managed too take off and fill its plant.

Well, the OP seems to have fallen off the face of the world, meanwhile thanks to Pat and Chris, I've gained about 200% more knowledge of some lesser-known materials than I previously had...

...and I know they both could care less, but I care, and think the OP owes them both stars. So, here they are.

Thanks Mate, much appreciated. In an ideal world, one would receive as much appreciation for ones full-time job as one does for helping people here for free.
