When you&rsquo;re running a wafer heater, you want every single watt <a href="https://o-yate.net">hitting</a> that wafer. Period. Most standard reflectors let way too much energy leak into the chassis, which is basically just heating up your equipment for no reason. That&rsquo;s why we use gold coatings.</p> <h2 id="why-gold">Why Gold?</h2> <p>It comes down to how gold handles infrared light. While most materials just soak up or scatter IR radiation, gold bounces it right back. We aren&rsquo;t just warming up the air here. We&rsquo;re basically steering photons. By reflecting almost all that short-wave radiation back toward the target, you create a tight, focused thermal zone. The best part? You don&rsquo;t have to crank the power as high to hit your target temperature.</p>
