Intersurface Dynamics: Cutting-Edge Chemical Solutions Continued from previous page


ductor devices. The requirement for flatter wafers with controlled nanotopography is met through processes using IDI’s products. With the growing need for wide band-gap materials such as SiC and GaN, Intersurface Dynam- ics’ newest VECTOR Series prod- ucts play a crucial role in the conversion of these super hard materials into flat, specular fin- ished wafers. “The manufacturing pro -


cesses for optical components and devices made from optic, piezoelectric, and ceramic mate- rials also demand precision but with added flexibility since shorter runs and more varied materials are found there,” says Wolk.


With a broad range of opti-


cal materials in use, such as a multitude of glass materials, and compounds including barium ti- tanate, calcium sulfide, calcium fluoride, magnesium fluoride, germanium, lithium niobate and tantalate, fused quartz, ruby, sapphire, and various zinc com- pounds, Intersurface Dynamics provides its CHALLENGE series of coolants, lubricants and abra- sive slurries and detergents. These processes include


edge grinding, surface grinding, I.D. or O.D. sawing and dicing, lapping, polishing, cleaning, and coating. The end result is high- quality parts used in critical technology applications like satellite-based optics, optical systems, laser components, etc.


Flat Display Surfaces In the realm of flat panel


displays, the company plays a pivotal role in the manufacturing of ultra-smooth LCD glass. The processes involved, such as cleaning, edge grinding or bevel- ing, and polishing, are critical to achieving a flat display surface. Wolk adds that as the industry shifts toward larger glass sub- strates, process advancements become essential to improve yield rates and affordability. Intersurface Dynamics of-


fers a variety of products, includ- ing the CHALLENGE series, that are designed to enhance the manufacturing of any materials addressing the optics and ceram- ics industries. Ophthalmic lens laborato-


ries face increasing consumer de- mand for lenses with value- added features, including pro- gressive bifocal and trifocal de- signs, thin-profile, high-index and aspheric lenses, and lenses with anti-reflective and anti- scratch coatings. Intersurface Dynamics recognizes the indus- try’s shift from glass to materials like polycarbonate, hard resins, and high-index plastics, which offer better impact resistance but are more prone to scratching.

address these challenges, it pro- vides solutions for generating/ grinding, fining/polishing, edge grinding, and pre-coating clean- ing in the lens manufacturing process. Flat glass sheets often un-


dergo secondary processing steps to meet specific requirements. As a result, the company offers a complete range of products that improve the efficiency of these processing applications in terms of throughput, quality, and tool life. Its solutions cover cutting, shaping, drilling, countersink- ing, edge grinding, beveling, pol- ishing, and cleaning. Special


coatings, such as anti-glare coat- ings or reflective coatings for technical and laboratory mirrors, require an ultra-clean glass sur- face for optimal adhesion. Intersurface Dynamics’ ex-


pertise in developing effective cleaning processes, ranging from ultrasonic to manual cleaning, ensures the highest quality end products. With decades of experience


and a comprehensive product portfolio, Intersurface Dynamics continues to push the boundaries of surface preparation and mor- phology control in various indus- tries. “By understanding the


unique challenges faced by man- ufacturers, we develop innova- tive solutions that enhance pro- ductivity, optimize yields, and contribute to the advancement of critical technologies,” concludes Wolk. “Intersurface Dynamics remains a trusted partner for manufacturers seeking cutting- edge chemical solutions to achieve specific surfaces and geo- metric tolerance.” Contact: Intersurface
