High Ion Exchange (HIE™)
Chemically Strengthened Glass is Ultra-Tough
Santa Paula, CA – Abrisa Technologies’ High Ion Exchange or HIE™ glass is chemically strengthened glass that has increased strength as a result of a post-product chemical process. 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™ Cover glass, and AGC Dragontrail™.” 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™ Cover glass, or AGC Dragontrail™, 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.”
*Abrisa Technologies HIE™ Glass offerings include:
- Corning® Gorilla® Glass:
- Thicknesses – 0.5 mm through 2.0 mm
- Sheet Size – (1250 mm x 900 mm) or (49.2″ x 35.4″)
- SCHOTT Xensation™:
- Thicknesses – 0.5 mm through 3.0 mm
- Sheet Size – (1150 x 950 mm) or (45.3″ x 37.4″) and (475 x 575 mm) or (18.7″ x 22.6″)
- AGC Dragontrail™:
- Thicknesses – 0.8 mm and 1.1 mm
- Sheet Size – (1219 mm x 737 mm) or (48″ x 29″)
* Theses are the standard sizes that these raw materials are available in, and/or can be fabricated to. In terms of supplying a strengthened piece of glass with fabrication, screen print and coatings (value-added) manufacturing, the maximum size that Abrisa Technologies can offer is 36″ x 29″ (915 mm x 737 mm).
According to Jim Veler, President and CEO for Abrisa Technologies, “Our strength here at Abrisa Technologies is to provide our customers with fully integrated optics solutions. We not only can supply high quality glass, but we can fabricate it and coat it to meet just about any customer requirement.” He further states, “At Abrisa Technologies, our product and service capabilities allow us to be the single source solution for high precision, high quality optics.”

Reaches Agreement to be the Western US
Distributor and Fabricator for Corning® Gorilla® Glass
Santa Paula, CA – Abrisa Technologies is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Corning to be their recognized distributor for Gorilla® Glass for the Western United States. According to Jim Veler, President and CEO of Abrisa Technologies, “Adding Gorilla® Glass to our existing portfolio of High Ion Exchange (HIE™) glass product offerings, allows us to provide our customers with a multitude of optical solutions. As a market leader in precision optical coatings and custom glass fabrication, including Corning® Gorilla® Glass as an available material enables us to service our customer base with another outstanding product while opening up some new avenues to market our services.” He additionally states, “We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Corning®, and trust that we will play a pivotal role in their distribution process.”
Gorilla® Glass is an environmentally friendly alkali-aluminosilicate thin-sheet glass. According to Corning®, “Elegant and lightweight, Gorilla® Glass is durable enough to resist many real-world events that commonly cause glass failure, enabling exciting new applications in technology and design. Gorilla® Glass features exceptional damage resistance to the scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use. It’s thin, cool to the touch, and cleans easily – making it the perfect solution for sleek, seamless designs. Gorilla® Glass is RF compatible, and has outstanding optical clarity.”
Dimensionally, Gorilla® Glass can be ordered from Abrisa Technologies in thicknesses from 0.5mm to 2.0 mm and in Gen 5 (1250mm x 900mm) sheets which can then be fabricated to suit specific size and shape requirements.
Gorilla® Glass has significant advantages over other glass materials.
- Damage resistant – Chemically strengthened via an ion-exchange process creates a deep compression layer on the surface of the glass substrate, reducing the introduction of flaws by the end-user.
- Thinner form factor – Thicknesses range from 0.5mm to 2.0mm depending upon specification and application requirements.
- Unparalleled surface quality – Glass is exceptionally clean, smooth, and flat, with outstanding optical clarity due to Corming’s proprietary fusion process.
- Compliance with environmental standards – RoHS compliant
- Compatibility with touch screens – tough enough to handle the surface pressure intrinsic to touch screen devices, since it is exceptionally thin, it is more sensitive and provides accurate responses.
- Easy-to-clean, wear-resistant coating – a special coating makes Gorilla glass easier to clean than other cover glass, finger prints and smudges are no longer a problem.
Other customized fabrication value-added solutions from Abrisa technologies that can be performed on Gorilla® Glass include the application of thin film coatings, various edge treatments, custom cutting and drilling, screen printing, Bus Bars and more.
Typical applications for Gorilla® Glass Include, smartphones, laptop and tablet computer screens, mobile devices, touchscreen devices, household appliances, and a host of other optical components.
