Product catalog summary
Overview
Moxtek® sealed proportional counter windows are designed for high transmission of low-energy x-rays, making them ideal for applications requiring analysis of light elements. These windows are particularly suited for sealed proportional counter applications.

Features and Benefits
  • Sealed and ultra-thin film construction
  • Mechanically strong with charge dissipation and light rejection
  • No gas flow required
  • High transmission of low energy x-rays
  • Withstands partial pressures and cycling
  • Reduces unwanted noise and peaks on detector sensors

Applications
  • Benchtop WDXRF (Environmental, RoHS/WEEE)
  • Floor standing WDXRF
  • Portable WDXRF

Technical Specifications
  • Composition: Ultra-thin Moxtek polymer, resistive DuraCoat®, charge dissipative aluminum coating, and silicon support structure
  • Pressure Limits: 1.2 atm frontal pressure, 0.3 atm backside pressure
  • Temperature Performance: Capable of exposure to 85°C at 1 atm differential pressure
  • Active Area: Maximum open area of 600 mm² with grid open area generally at 76%
  • Leak Rate: Less than 3 x 10-10 mbar L/sec He
  • Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many solvents, acids, and bases

Mounting and Cleaning
  • Usually attached to Invar™ mounts; care required to avoid flexing
  • Cleaning with DI water and solvents is possible

Sealed Proportional Counter Windows-1

Moxtek® sealed proportional counter windows allow high transmission of low-energy x-rays (including Boron). These windows are ideal for sealed proportional counter applications that require analysis of light elements. X-ray Windows Sealed Proportional Counter Windows Features Benefits - Sealed - Ultra-thin film - Mechanically strong - Charge dissipation - Light rejection - No gas flow - High transmission of low energy - Withstand partial pressures and cycling - Reduces unwanted noise on detector sensor - Reduces unwanted peaks on detector sensor Applications Benchtop WDXRF - Environmental - RoHS/ WEEE Floor standing WDXRF Portable WDXRF Mechanical Strength Window Composition Temperature Performance Charge Dissipation and Light Rejection Moxtek proportional counter windows are composed of an ultra-thin layer of Moxtek polymer, a resistive DuraCoat®, a charge dissipative aluminum coating, and a strong support structure composed of silicon. Moxtek proportional counter windows are supported by a rigid silicon grid. This patented window design enables the window to withstand over 1.2 atmosphere of differential pressure. This window can withstand over 100,000 cycles at that same differential pressure without degradation in window performance. Pressure Limits: 1.2 atm frontal pressure, 0.3 atm backside pressure. Moxtek proportional counter windows are capable of exposure to 85° C at a differential pressure of 1 atm. Moxtek proportional counter windows are coated with aluminum for charge dissipation and light rejection. A custom thickness can be requested.
