Specialty Glasses for Specific Technical Requirements
Specialty glass is used when conventional standard glass does not meet the required properties, or meets them only to a limited extent. Depending on the application, the focus is on optical, thermal, chemical, electrical, or mechanical requirements.
Schröder Spezialglas processes a variety of specialty glasses and tailors the material and fabrication process to the specific application. This results in custom glass components for demanding technical applications.
The selection of a specialty glass depends on the conditions to which the resulting component will be exposed. For example , specific transmission properties, high temperature resistance, low thermal expansion, or special electrical properties may be required.
The spectrum ranges from glasses with special optical or spectral properties to materials designed to meet high thermal or mechanical requirements. It is crucial to coordinate material properties with the intended function early on.
Schröder Spezialglas combines material selection with various manufacturing processes. Specialty glasses can be cut to size, machined mechanically or by laser, polished, or functionally coated according to their respective properties. The suitability of each process is evaluated based on the specific material and component.
For decades, Schröder Spezialglas has been supporting customers in industry, research, and development in the implementation of technical glass solutions. From the initial idea through prototyping to mass production, we combine expertise in materials with modern manufacturing processes and documented quality procedures.
