31. Annealing vs. Tempering – Glass Strengthening 10/17/2019

    This article by Abrisa Technologies describes the difference between annealing and tempering as a glass strengthening process.

32. Benefits Of Heat Tempering vs. Heat Strengthening Of Glass 4/12/2016

    There are two types of heat-treated glass. Heat-strengthened glass is approximately two times stronger than annealed or untreated glass, while the tempered glass will be four times stronger and less likely to experience breakage through thermal shock. This application note presents the benefits and characteristics of each type of heat-treated glass.

33. First Surface Mirrors 2/8/2016

    Conventional mirrors are constructed with a glass protective surface and a “silvering” second surface. In high-precision applications, these second surface mirrors have distinct disadvantages such as refracted or bent images, loss of energy, and a dim and distorted reflection.

34. CleanVue PRO – Series Of Oleophobic And Hydrophobic Coatings For Tough Environments 1/28/2016

    Abrisa Technologies' new CleanVue PRO series of anti-reflection coatings are designed to combine improved handling, cleaning, water shedding, and robust performance with anti-reflective properties. 

35. Using Beam Splitters For Teleprompters 1/14/2016

    A teleprompter system is made up of a one-way mirror, a screen, and a camera. The coated glass mirror is placed at an angle in order to reflect the image text from below. This allows an individual to look directly at the camera, rather than looking at notes or a script when addressing an audience. Abrisa Technologies provides non-distortion, high definition compatible optical grade beam splitter mirrors for these teleprompter applications.

36. Application Of Frit Inks For Screen Printed Glass 12/8/2015

    Abrisa Technologies offers frit ink graphics for screen printed glass used in rigorous environmental conditions. This frit ink is not affected by moisture, oil, soaps, chemicals, or detergents, and is able to retain its original appearance throughout the life of the glass. It is an ideal choice for soda lime glass and SCHOTT Borofloat® due to its high melting point and ability to be used in high temperature environments.

37. Solid Colored Glass Can Provide The Right Hue To Fit The Desired Mood 12/3/2015

    Abrisa Technologies offers a wide variety of solid colored glass for use in lighting and entertainment, architectural, and landscaping applications. Designed with soda lime glass that can be tempered for additional thermal shock resistance, the colored glass may be drilled, sandblasted, screen printed, and fabricated to any shape. 

38. What Is Sight Glass? 9/14/2015

    A sight glass is a visual observation window used to view or monitor liquid levels and flow within a tank, pipeline, or other pressure vessel. This app note discusses the characteristics of sight glasses, as well as how to choose the best substrate based on application requirements.

39. Can Machined Glass Be Strengthened? 10/23/2014

    Download this brief application note to learn more about tempered and heat strengthened glass, chemically strengthened soda glass, and high ion-exchange chemically strengthened thin glass, and the potential risks and feasibility of strengthening said glass.

40. Borosilicate Glass Comparison: Corning® Eagle XG®: vs. SCHOTT D263 10/21/2014

    Borosilicate glass is much more resistant to thermal shock than any common glass types. This application note provides information on the differentiating factors between two different types of this specialized glass.
