• Our borosilicate glass comes with high temperature load capacity. (- up to 450°C permanent load; - up to 500°C temporary load (< 10h))
• It gives low coefficient of thermal expansion and CTE (Coefficient of thermal expansion) value is matched to silicon. (anodic bonding)
• High thermal shock resistance
• Clear, colorless appearance
• Low fluorescence
• High UV transmission
• High chemical resistance against acids, alkalies, and organic substances
• Low alkali content in the glass composition
• Low specific weight

The borosilicate glass is commonly ideal for substrates for dielectric coatings, wafer substatrates, optical filter coating substrates, photovoltaics, neutron absorbers, as well as lighting applications. In the meanwhile, it find find its wide applications in the biotechnology, environmental technology, and measurement and sensor-technology.
