    Sapphire Glass Substrates & Windows

    Synthetic single-crystal sapphire (Al₂O₃) is a premium optical material known for its extreme physical hardness, exceptional chemical durability, and broad spectral transmission band spanning from ultraviolet to mid-infrared wavelengths.

    Functions:
    Features an outstanding Mohs hardness of 9 (second only to diamond), offering superior scratch resistance, high thermal conductivity, and extreme resistance to thermal shock, high operational temperatures, and aggressive chemical environments.

    Applications:
    High-precision instrument viewports
    Watch crystals
    Optical sensor cover glass
    Aerospace and defense viewports
    High-pressure sight glasses
    Infrared optical windows
    Protective covers for harsh operational environments

    Information and Notes

    1. Mohs Hardness Scale: Defined by German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs in 1812, the Mohs scale measures mineral scratch resistance using a standardized diamond-stylus scratch test. The reference minerals rated from 1 to 10 are:

    • 1. Talc
    • 2. Gypsum
    • 3. Calcite
    • 4. Fluorite
    • 5. Apatite
    • 6. Orthoclase / Feldspar
    • 7. Quartz
    • 8. Topaz
    • 9. Corundum (Synthetic Sapphire)
    • 10. Diamond

    2. Custom geometrical profiles, non-standard thicknesses, precision CNC edging, drilling, and custom shaping are available upon request. For additional details, please refer to our Glass Processing Services.

    3. Spectral transmittance curves represent measurements at normal incidence (0° angle of incidence).

    4. For applications requiring maximized light throughput, please refer to our Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating Solutions.

    5. Website specifications are provided for reference only. Final production and delivery comply with mutually agreed engineering specifications.
