BOROFLOAT® BOROSILICATE Glass

It is highly resistant to chemical corrosion and temperature change (thermal shock).
BOROSILICATE glass is suitable for many applications in the medium temperature range. It is especially used for furnace windows and stove windows. It transmits a high percentage of infrared radiation.
Borosilicate glass can be tempered. Thus, the mechanical and impact strength as well as the thermal shock resistance are improved greatly.

Satiny PYREX

PYREX® is manufactured by rolling and casting respectively which results in a slightly textured surface.
However, we can make it transparent.

ROBAX is a glass ceramic which outperforms thermal resistance standards. It has a expansion coefficient of virtually zero up to 800°C.
It can support the toughest thermal shocks.
ROBAX is ideal for heating systems as it transmits 90% of radiation in the infra-red spectrum.
The continuous working temperature of vitrocéram is 740°C.
It can be heated to 800°C and then dipped in water at 0°C with no risk of breakage.

This flat glass is VYCOR®, and has been developed for its resistance to heat, thermal shock and chemical attack. It can be used at temperatures up to 1200°C and is transparent to wavelengths from Ultraviolet to Infrared.

Its main application is use as a sight glass. VYCOR® is three times more resistant to wear than other optical glasses. Electrical properties are similar to those of Fused Quartz. VYCOR® is more resistant to discoloration from exposure to radiation than other optical glasses
