Coating Refractometer Readings: Use a Product-Specific Calibration

A refractive-index reading does not automatically translate into coating concentration. A useful conversion needs an appropriate relationship for the actual material system.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Ask whether a validated calibration exists and what temperature and composition limits apply.

A scale intended for another solution cannot simply be relabelled as ceramic-coating solids percentage.

Decision limits

Do not infer formulation strength from a convenient handheld reading without the required method.

Ask NANOLAB about the exact product and intended use. Use the current product documentation for formulation-specific instructions.
