A Message from David Epner, President of Epner Technology, Inc.
We are a third-generation family-owned high-tech engineering plating company with Laser Gold and Laser Black, world renowned, proprietary, optical coatings (as our biggest market). But as you can see in the column on the left, we are also known as a general specification plating service for aerospace and other high-tech companies around the world. In recent news: we have taken part in a specialized study of infrared reflectivity organized by NIST's Physics Laboratory, which performed an Intercomparison Calibration Study of near-normal diffuse and specular reflectance measurements amongst twenty DoD and Contractor Laboratories. Epner Technology supplied NIST with the twenty Laser Gold plated standard mirrors used for this prestigious study. Click Here for the full report (6 MB file). After completion of this collaborative study with NIST, we are proud to announce the availability of a Laser Gold coated IR standard traceable to NIST! Price upon request.
