reflective component
(OP)
I'm looking for a coating or a plastic tape that changes it's reflective properties if there is water behind her or not.
The purpose is to detect the level of water in a glass container via a reflective infrared sensor.
Can someone help me???

RE: reflective component
It shows optic & electric schematics.
These sensors are rather pricey, and generally only used to detect fluid at a fixed point, e.g., as leak detectors. I used a similar product to satisfy a continuous monitoring requirement for leak detection beneath a liner in a metal finishing containment berm. In order to use for liquid level sensing, you would need some means of vertical scanning (moving the beam and detector up and down). There are less expensive means of liquid level measurement.
Another vendor site is http://www.netmotion.com/htm_files/fh_leak.htm
Hope this helps,

RE: reflective component
Difference of ambient-to-water point will be obviously magnified. I.R. receiver will show density signal. Taa-Daa.
(Where's my dollar ?)
Non-invasive, 5-minute fix, Radio Shack 'n back !!!!!!!!
