Storage and Handling Recommendations

To maintain the quality and functionality of MOK Optics’ mirrors, adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Storage Conditions:

    • Environment: Store mirrors in a clean, dry area, free from dust, moisture, and direct sunlight. Ideal storage temperatures range between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F).
    • Packaging: Keep mirrors in their original protective packaging until ready for use to prevent accidental damage.
  • Handling:

    • Technique: Always handle mirrors by their edges. Avoid touching the reflective surface to prevent fingerprints and contamination.
    • Tools: Use appropriate tools, such as gloves or tweezers, when handling mirrors to ensure no oils or residues are transferred.
  • Cleaning:

    • Frequency: Clean only when necessary. Frequent cleaning can wear down coatings.
    • Method: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or lens tissue. If needed, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical surfaces.
    • Avoid: Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can scratch or damage the mirror surface.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your optical mirrors from MOK Optics, allowing for exceptional results in your specific applications.
