Zerodur®
High-precision glass-ceramic with minimal thermal expansion
Zerodur® is one of the highest-performance glass-ceramics for applications in which even the slightest temperature changes must not affect dimensional accuracy and dimensional stability. Its virtually zero-expansion properties make the material the ideal solution for high-precision technical systems.
Thanks to its unique material structure, Zerodur® is particularly well-suited for demanding applications in optics, metrology, and research, as well as for components with the highest requirements for accuracy and long-term stability.
The outstanding property of Zerodur® is its extremely low thermal expansion. Even when temperatures fluctuate, the material remains virtually dimensionally stable, thereby enabling exceptionally precise positioning and alignment of technical systems.
In addition to its high dimensional stability, Zerodur® offers excellent machinability and high surface quality. This makes it possible to manufacture complex geometries and precision components for a wide variety of applications.
Schröder Spezialglas processes Zerodur® into custom components and supports customers in the production-ready implementation of challenging projects—from prototypes to series production.
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.
