Product Description

The performance requirements for optical filters and mirrors are highly dependent on the materials ability to reflect, absorb, enhance or modify incoming light. This can be accomplished with bulk optical glass materials or through coatings that are applied to a pristine glass substrate. Coatings usually allow significantly more freedom for customized light management design options which can be developed even further when a flat glass material with outstanding optical, thermal, mechanical and chemical properties is used.

BOROFLOAT® borosilicate glass is such a unique substrate and has hence become the material of choice for robust high-temperature resistant dichroic filters, hot and cold mirrors.

BOROFLOAT®  The sum of its properties is what makes it unique for functional coatings

1.Exceptionally high transparency

2.Outstanding thermal resistance

3.Excellent mechanical strength

4.Broad range of sizes and thicknesses

High UV transparency down to **0 nm, greater than *2 % light transmittance in the visible and near IR wavelength range, outstanding clarity, low auto-fluorescence and low solarization are specific characteristics of BOROFLOAT® glass substrates used in many optical fields.
