Borosilicate optical glass (commonly known as low-expansion optical glass or heat-resistant glass) is a high-grade silica and boron trioxide glass engineered for superior thermal shock resistance, excellent mechanical strength, and high chemical durability.
Functions:
Features an exceptionally low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), allowing it to withstand prolonged operational temperatures exceeding 450°C without structural warp or thermal fracture. Delivers high broadband light transmittance of up to 92% across the UVA, visible, and near-infrared (NIR) spectral regions.
Applications:
Precision instrument viewports
Optical projector light engines
Semiconductor coating substrates.
High-temperature reaction vessel sight glasses
High-wattage and stage lighting protective covers

1. Borosilicate heat-resistant glass features a significantly lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than standard commercial float glass, delivering superior thermal shock resistance and high-temperature tolerance without structural failure.
2. Custom geometrical shapes, non-standard thicknesses, precision CNC edging, and custom profiling are available upon request. For additional processing details, please refer to our Glass Processing Services.
3. Spectral transmittance curves represent measurements at normal incidence (0° angle of incidence). Non-transmitted light within the spectrum is absorbed by the physical optical properties of the glass substrate.
4. For applications requiring maximized light throughput, please refer to our Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating Solutions.
5. To enhance mechanical impact strength, compatible borosilicate glass substrates can be chemically strengthened. For details, please refer to our Chemically Strengthened Glass Solutions.
