Corning® Gorilla® Glass
SCHOTT Xensation™ Cover Glass
AGC Dragontrail™
Abrisa Technologies provides customers with fully integrated optical solutions including high quality glass, custom fabrication solutions, and optical coating solutions for just about any customer requirement. Abrisa Technologies product and service capabilities combine to be your single source solution for high precision, high quality optics.
By expanding their specialty glass product line, Abrisa Technologies is now a single source provider of High Ion Exchange (HIE) Glass and the customized fabrication solutions for an extremely broad selection of requirements including the application of thin film coatings, various edge treatments, custom cutting and drilling, screen printing, Bus Bars and more.
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.
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.
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
Corning® Gorilla® Glass is an environmentally friendly alkali-aluminosilicate thin-sheet glass. Its superior composition allows a deeper layer of chemical strengthening than is possible with most other chemically strengthened glasses, making it durable and damage resistant.
Benefits:
- Glass designed for a high degree of chemical strengthening
- High compression
- Deep compression layer
- High retained strength after use
- High resistance to scratch damage
- Pristine surface quality
Applications:
- Ideal protective cover for electronic displays in:
- Smartphones
- Laptops and tablet computer screens
- Mobile devices
- Touchscreen devices
- Optical components
- High strength glass articles
SCHOTT Xensation™ Cover - Alumino-Silicate glass for capacitive touch technologies Xensation™ Cover is a high-quality Alumino-silicate glass with outstanding resistance to breakage and scratches for capacitive touch technologies.
Key-Benefits of SCHOTT Xensation™ Cover: =/p>
- SCHOTT's unique microfloat manufacturing process gives the Xensation™ Cover alumino-silicate glass its excellent sheet quality.
- Due to the impressively high Compressive Stress (CS) and Depth of Layer (DoL), Xensation™ Cover offers outstanding strength.
- The robust nature of Xensation™ Cover results in very stable CS, DoL and overall strength even under varying chemical strengthening conditions. This enables a broad process window.
- Xensation™ Cover maintains its high strength even when process optimization calls for shorter ion exchange. Xensation™ Cover is available in a wide range of thicknesses with tight tolerances.
Asahi Glass Corporation (AGC) Dragontrail™ - is an ideal glass for chemical strengthening via high ion exchange process for use as cover glass for portable equipment such as smart phones, tablet PCs and more.
Characteristics in comparison to Soda-lime glass
- Scratch resistant
- Scratches are less noticeable
- Crack resistant should scratches occur (Chemically strengthened Dragontrail™ is much stronger than conventional soda-lime glass)
- Dragontrail is manufactured using the float process, ideal for mass-production insuring stable supply
