Borosilicate Sheet Glass
Glasslite provides Borosilicate glass for lights which require resistance to extreme heat,
thermal shock and chemicals.
 
Applications:
- Floodlights/Spotlights.
- Downlights.
Special Properties:
 
• Low thermal expansion. High thermal shock
  resistance and its ability to withstand temperatures
up to 450ºC.
  RTG (resistance to thermal gradients): 120 - 160°C.
RTS (resistance to thermal shock): 150 - 200°C.
 
  (All values for RTG and RTS are empirical values which
diversify with thickness, size, finishing and conditions
of assembly. Values can be above or below target).
 
• High transparency in the UV/visible/near IR range.
 
• Mirror-like finish on both surfaces.
 
• Optical quality.
 
• High degree of flatness.
 
• Chemical resistance.
 
• Glass thickness: standard stock
  2mm - 3mm - 5mm.
Standard tolerances + .3mm.
 
  Note: Other thicknesses available on request.
Surcharge, minimum quantities and lead times
apply.
 
• Processed in a wide variety of shapes and sizes
  to meet specific requirements.
 
• Sandblasted finishes.
 
 
 
Substrate Glass for Special Coatings
These composite materials expand the functions of the glass. The coatings
can be used to control transmission, reflection and absorption:
− Dichroic Colour Filters (see Section 12).
− Food Enhancement Filters (see Section 13).
− Colour Correction Filters (see Section 14).
− IR Filters.
