L.J. Star Video Explains How Fused Sight Glass Gets Its Super Strength

SCHOTT is introducing a new, innovative portfolio of structured glass substrates that offers highly accurate and versatile features: FLEXINITY™.

Highly flexible substrates of 0.030 to 0.1mm thickness, as well as damage resistant HIE™ Aluminosilicate are now available in even thinner thicknesses of 0.05 to 0.4mm.

1891 was a year of invention and discovery. The Wrigley Company launched what would become a gum empire, Thomas Edison patented the motion picture camera, James Naismith thought up basketball, and the escalator was invented.

From streaming of breathtaking sports events to high-tech material research: without borosilicate glass to protect cameras or for use in neutron conductors, such modern applications would not be possible.

Dichroic filters as well as hot and cold mirrors rely on the combination of BOROFLOAT®’s product characteristics    High quality functional coatings enable a large variety of customized light management design options – especially when based on a reliable substrate material such as BOROFLOAT® borosilicate glass.

When designing a lens for a harsh environment, you need to choose a material that is resistant to pressure, abrasion, and impact.
