Specialty Glass
Materials with special performance attributes as radiation hardening, low alkaline content, low fluorescence, UV transmission, ultra-high purity, shielding, high chemical resistance, bio compatibility, thermal resilience & low CTE and lamination.
AGC EN-A1 Alkali-Free Boro-Aluminosilicate Glass
Abrisa Technologies offers Asahi Glass Corporation (AGC) EN-A 1 material, a highly transmissive, alkali-free thin boro-aluminosilicate glass that is ideal for highly sensitive bio-photo detection applications, high throughput sensor applications and as enhancement glass for thin displays and cover glass for micro arrays. Its coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 38 x 10-7 is well matched to silicon, making it an ideal and economical choice for use as a glass polishing substrate for the thinning process (back grinding) of semiconductor chips supporting low profile electronic device manufacture.
SCHOTT BOROFLOAT® 33 Borosilicate Float Glass
BOROFLOAT® 33 is a UV-NIR transparent borosilicate float glass with excellent optical properties and smooth low scatter surfaces straight off the float process. It is an economical high- performance material, making it ideal for the volume manufacture of windows, mirrors, filters, display glass, 3D build platforms, and other components. BOROFLOAT® 33’s composition lends itself to outstanding thermal resistance and sharp impact crack resistance, making it an excellent choice for challenging use environments. Abrisa Technologies offers a wide selection of glass, custom fabrication, heat toughening, optical coating, electrical connectivity, screen printing, applied films, oleophobics, laser marking, and more for a Total Solution.
Corning® Fused Silica
Corning® 7980 is a very pure, non-crystalline silica glass. It features very low thermal expansion and excellent optical qualities, including very high transmission in the UV spectrum.
GE 124 Fused Quartz
GE 124 is a very pure fused quartz, made from crystalline silica. GE 124 is very similar to fused silica, with the exception of less transmission in the UV spectrum and much lower OH content. Other features besides its purity include excellent thermal properties and high resistance to chemicals.
Dead Front Panels for Backlit User Interfaces
Abrisa Technologies now provides Dead Front Panels for Backlit Display and User Interface applications that afford equipment designers greater flexibility in achieving the overall clean lines and sleek uncluttered aesthetics they seek. When backlit, the Dead Front Panel illuminates and draws attention to icons and alpha-numeric indicators as required. When non-backlit, the icons remain hidden and the panel retains a more monochromatic and streamlined look, in perfect keeping with the dashboard or device they are installed into.
SCHOTT B 270® Crown White (Superwhite)
SCHOTT offers B 270® crown glass in sheet glass form to meet a wide variety of different market demands, especially suitable for Biotech applications. It is manufactured using a special up-draw process developed by SCHOTT. B 270® i is highly resistant to solar radiation and offers high transmittance in the visible wavelength range. It also has a fire-polished surface and offers high chemical stability.
SCHOTT Robax® Transparent Ceramic Glass
SCHOTT Robax® is a transparent ceramic glass that is extremely heat resistant. The combination of good optical transmission (including infrared, which we perceive as heat) and low thermal expansion make Robax® an excellent choice for windows in heating devices. Robax® also has good UV blocking characteristics. The most common uses are fireplaces, stoves, and other types of heating systems.
Laminated Safety Glass
Laminated glass is created by layering two or more pieces of glass together with an interlayer, such as PVB (polyvinyl butyral). When broken the interlayer holds the glass together, providing increased strength and safety. Laminated glass is used in automobiles, architecture, and bulletproofing. Abrisa Technologies can fabricate the laminated glass to custom sizes for a wide variety of applications.
NVIS Filters
ZC&R Coatings for Optics (ZC&R), a division of Abrisa Technologies, has over 20 years of design and volume manufacturing experience for high performance thin film coating solutions for Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS) and Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatible lighting and displays.
Weld Shield
Weld shield is a leaded glass specifically designed for welding masks and other eye protection equipment. The glass blocks out harmful ultraviolet light and can cause “arc eye”. It is available in different shades for varying degrees of protection, and can be cut to size as ordered.
X-Ray (Radiation Shielding) Glass
X-Ray leaded glass is a radiation shielding glass that contains a high content of heavy metallic oxides. Most notably the lead oxide (PbO) provides the protective qualities against X-rays and Y-rays for use in the medical and technical fields. Despite the high metallic oxide content, Radiation Shielding Glass features high optical transmission, making it a perfect fit for view windows for X-ray rooms.
