Glass is supplied in a number of forms – e.g. windows, tubes, machined parts, balls and optical components. For industrial and scientific applications, borosilicate (Pyrex) and quartz / fused silica are the most commonly used glasses. Optical glasses are chosen for their specific optical Products supplied include: Optical Windows High precision windows, in a variety of optical glasses, are used in scientific and process instrumentation and can be coated to customers’ specifications. X-ray absorbing, toughened and high-temperature windows are also supplied. Ball lenses and micro optics Increasingly important in fibre optics and the miniaturisation of optical systems. Filter Glasses Supplied to customers’ requirements. Tubing We specialise in the supply of glass tubing, ranging from sight glasses to precision bore tubing in a variety of glasses including fused silica. Machined components Glass can be ground or ground and polished to produce high-precision components. Custom-made glassware Borosilicate glass is the industry standard for laboratory and process glassware. For severe service conditions, fused silica has outstanding chemical, thermal and optical properties.
