PRODUCTS & SERVICES

Bus bars provide the pathways for electrical connectivity or grounding points to transparent conductive coatings and are themselves, made of conductive material.

For two decades, Abrisa has supplied optical solutions for manufacturers of bio-medical and FDA-regulated devices and biochips with a critical need for quality control, consistency, and reliability.

Abrisa Technologies offers custom coating services and innovative total solutions of coated and fabricated technology glass for imaging, sensing, and laser scanning applications.

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.

ZC&R Coatings for Optics (ZC&R), an Abrisa Technologies company, designs and manufactures innovative precision thin film coating solutions for micro-electronics, defense and avionics, display, industrial automation, optical sensors and imaging, photonics, medical/dental, life science analytics, and other market applications. 

PRO-HC-VIS1 is a clear glass coating for high-traffic scanners that offers up to 40X more abrasion resistance compared to uncoated and HIE chemically-strengthened glass.

Abrisa Technologies 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.

SCHOTT D263® T eco is a clear, lightweight, low fluorescence, borosilicate glass available from Abrisa Technologies in thicknesses from 0.07 mm to 1.1 mm with excellent luminous transmission and high chemical resistance.
