Abrisa Technologies High Ion Exchange (HIE) Chemically Strengthened Glass is Ultra-Tough

This process typically increases the strength of the glass by 6 to 8X that of float glass. The ion-exchange process creates a deep compression layer on the surface of the glass structure, reducing the introduction of flaws once incorporated into the end product and put into service.



Typically used for electronic display screens such as smartphones, laptop and tablet computers, mobile devices, touchscreens, and more, HIE glass provides outstanding resistance to breakage, scratches and temperature fluctuations.



HIE chemically strengthened glass advantages:

• Improved impact resistance




• Improved flexibility strength




• Improved scratch resistance




• Improved resistance to temperature changes

According to Susan Hirst, General Manager of Abrisa Technologies, "At Abrisa Technologies, we can supply the following HIE glass to the market; Corning® Gorilla® Glass, SCHOTT Xensation(TM) Cover glass, and AGC Dragontrail(TM)." Hirst further states, "These thin glass solutions allow Abrisa Technologies to offer a diverse portfolio of thin glass options to the display, defense, medical and industrial markets. We can service an extremely broad selection of requirements with the wide array of substrates we can provide."



By using a thin glass such as Corning® Gorilla® Glass, SCHOTT Xensation(TM) Cover glass, or AGC Dragontrail(TM), the end product will have improved transmission, reduced weight , and reduced mounting costs as just some of the significant advantages.



Abrisa Technologies can provide customized fabrication solutions for their HIE glass that include the application of thin film coatings, various edge treatments, custom cutting and drilling, screen printing, Bus Bars and more."
