Epner Technology gives the Oscars and NASA a ‘gold bond’

Who might have imagined that the Oscars and NASA would have something in like manner? Yet, it has turned into a reality as both these renowned gatherings now utilize a similar method for gold covering. 

Indeed, the gold covering procedure utilized as a part of the space organization's telescope has been connected to coat the Academy Award trophies. 

OLD TECHNIQUE TO PLATE THE GOLD ON THE TROPHIES 

Already, the Oscar trophies were covered with gold utilizing the vapor store technique. In this training, the metal is warmed in a vacuum until the point when it turns into a gas and after that dense in a thin layer over the surface intended to be plated. 

Requirement FOR THE CHANGE OF GOLD COATING TECHNIQUE ON THE OSCAR TROPHIES 

Through the span of time, it has been watched that the Oscar trophies lose their covering. It is on the grounds that the vapor store strategy used to coat the trophies lose its reflectivity. To get rid of this, the Academy moved toward Epner Technology for plating gold. 

WHAT IS THE GOLD PLATING TECHNIQUE OF EPNER TECHNOLOGY? 

Epner Technology is the one which guarantees its gold never wears off and has been utilized as a part of the telescopes of the US space office like the James Webb Space Telescope and Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter. 

The organization utilizes electroplating innovation to coat gold which guarantees more reflectivity than the vapor stored gold. The electric current is utilized to coat one metal with an all the more valuable metal. 

The organization adjusts the electric current to get an all the more firmly pressed iota. The gold stays unadulterated and reflectivity remains greatly high. 

''We ensured that our gold covering will never fall off ''

- organization President, David Epner 

Epner Technology additionally gave a lifetime certification to re-plate any Oscar trophy that requirements it. 

WHY THE NASA TELESCOPES NEED GOLD COATING? 

Gold is to be sure a valuable metal not only for its sparkle but rather on account of its incredible characteristics. Yet, the primary reason it is utilized as a part of the telescopes of NASA is its capacity to reflect light in infrared wavelengths. It influences the telescope to spot far off items effortlessly. 

Gold can likewise piece assimilation of brilliant warmth from telescope instruments and that is the reason the James Webb Space Telescope has gold plating over the 10 meters refrigerant tube that cools its Mid-infrared Instrument.
