Safety Glass
Borosilicate glass is a high-quality glass material with excellent thermal, chemical and optical properties. Its very low thermal expansion makes it highly resistant to large temperature changes and thermal stress.
In addition, borosilicate glass offers high chemical resistance, good optical clarity and broad spectral transmission, from the UV range through visible light into the near-infrared. This makes it a stable and versatile material for demanding technical and optical applications.
Glass thickness in millimetres. Thickness affects strength, weight and which edge finishes are available. Only certain thicknesses can be selected per product.
Rectangular or round for standard shapes. Choose custom for a bespoke outline — we will send a quotation.
Length of a rectangular pane in mm (longest side). Enter the required outside dimension; min. and max. values depend on the product.
Width of a rectangular pane in mm (shortest side). Together with length this defines the size of your glass sheet.
Outside dimension of a round disc in mm. For bespoke sizes enter the diameter; for standard sizes pick from the list.
Allowed deviation from the chosen dimension after processing (e.g. ±0.5 mm). Tighter tolerance requires more precision and may affect price.
Holes or bores in the glass. Always on request — we will assess feasibility and send a quotation.
Cut-outs or recesses in the glass. Always on request — we will review and quote accordingly.
Borosilicate glass has a very low thermal expansion and therefore changes very little in size when exposed to temperature variations. This provides high dimensional stability and makes the material suitable for applications where thermal stability is important.
In addition, the glass combines high chemical resistance with good optical properties. Its high transmittance, neutral colour rendering and broad spectral range make borosilicate glass suitable for both technical and optical systems.
Borosilicate glass is used in applications including:
Macada Innovision supplies borosilicate glass in various thicknesses and dimensions, including SCHOTT BOROFLOAT® 33. The glass can be cut to size and supplied with processing options such as drilling, grinding, polishing and various optical coatings.
