REFLECON® Tarnish 50 is a high-performance sublimating matting spray formulated with optimized cyclododecane for professional optical 3D scanning and laser measurement applications. Designed for extended working time, Tarnish 50 offers a long sublimation window of approximately 5–8 hours, making it ideal for scanning large objects or complex parts that require longer preparation and measurement cycles.

Engineered for industrial metrology, reverse engineering, and quality control applications across Canada.

Key Features & Benefits

Very Long Sublimation Time (5–8 Hours)

Compared to other REFLECON® Tarnish Type 1 products, Tarnish 50 provides a significantly extended sublimation period.

• Remains stable during long scanning sessions

• Ideal for large or complex components

• Sublimates naturally after use

• Leaves surfaces clean and residue-free

Actual sublimation time depends on:

• Surface material

• Ambient temperature

• Environmental conditions

Optimized Cyclododecane Formula

• High-quality, controlled evaporation behavior

• Uniform matte coating for improved scan accuracy

• Reliable surface coverage for structured light and laser scanners

Suitable for All Surfaces

Tarnish 50 is compatible with most industrial materials, including:

• Plastics

• Metals

• Painted surfaces

• Composites

• Dark or reflective materials

A compatibility test is recommended prior to full application.

Solvent-Reduced & Pleasant Odor

• Reduced solvent content compared to traditional scanning sprays

• More comfortable for workshop and lab environments

• Designed for professional industrial use

Ideal Applications

REFLECON® Tarnish 50 is particularly well-suited for:

• Large-format 3D scanning projects

• Industrial metrology labs

• Automotive and aerospace components

• Tooling and mold verification

• Reverse engineering

• Quality inspection and dimensional analysis

For Canadian manufacturers, engineering firms, and 3D scanning professionals, Tarnish 50 provides extended working time without the cleanup associated with traditional developer sprays.

Safety & Compliance

• Labelling in accordance with safety data sheet (SDS available upon request)

• Professional-use product

• Compliance documentation available for industrial environments

Why Choose Tarnish 50 for Large Objects?

When scanning oversized or complex parts, short sublimation sprays can evaporate before scanning is complete. Tarnish 50’s extended 5–8 hour working window ensures stable surface matting throughout the entire scanning process — improving efficiency and scan accuracy.
