SCHOTT glass-ceramic range and technical glass tubing

Friday, 04 September, 2015 | Supplied by: SCHOTT Australia Pty Ltd


SCHOTT has released the NEXTREMA glass-ceramic family for use in high-temperature applications, as well as tubing, rods and capillaries for various technical applications. Both product groups offer product developers special functionality and innovative design options.

NEXTREMA combines the advantages of technical glass (high transmission, resistance, non-porous surfaces and the production of large plate formats) with good thermal properties. Thermal resistance up to 950°C and endurance of thermal shocks of up to 800°C are possible.

The glass-ceramic is available in six different versions, which differ not only in terms of their colour impression but also their technical characteristics. They come in a wide variety of material thickness ranging from 2 to 8 mm. They enable engineers and designers alike to develop and realise product ideas such as infrared applications, high-temperature furnaces or grills.

The company also has a range of tubing, rods and capillaries with different wall thicknesses and inner diameters for use in technical applications. They can be made from 60 different types of glass and can be enhanced by applying special coatings. The company’s oval glass tubes, made of CONTURAX borosilicate glass, are said to accelerate the growth of algae significantly.

In addition, DURAN glass tubing allows for 360° camera technology to be used for online streaming. Panoramic videos can be transmitted in real time. The camera technology is used for television science programs and at concerts, sporting events and trade shows.
