Technical Glasses are generally used in scientific and pharmaceuticals laboratory applications, in optoelectronics and in consumer products technology. Specific applications include touch screens, display panels, cover glasses, safety windows, 3D printers, instrument windows, wafers, substrates, view ports, coverslips and microscope slides.

Optical glasstypes

Glasses may be produced using different manufacturing processes to achieve a wide range of compositional ranges and finishes and can be polished, etched, ground, AR coated, laminated, toughened and screen printed.

Good quality surfaces can nonetheless be achieved without optical polishing of the glass, which is a more cost-effective solution when precision surfaces are not required and where tolerances may be relaxed.

The materials used in our Technical Glasses include borosilicate, float glasses, low iron glass, ceramic glasses and toughened glass. As these are sheet glasses they are produced in large sizes and a range of standard thicknesses.
