Advances in the process of floating borosilicate glasses and some recent applications for specialty borosilicate float glasses

摘要

The major challenge of the future hi the area of special flat glass is seen as the flexible availability of glass substrates which can be produced to a high standard of quality yet at favourable cost Bigger flatter, fault free, universally available from ultra-thin to ultra-thick, as inert as possible and able to withstand the rigours of processing in the widest range of demanding technical applications is the comprehensive requirement of modern special flat glasses Schott's borosilicate float glasses have all the necessary prerequisites to meet these continually and rapidly growing needs.
