1737 Low Alkali Glass

Special Properties

  • Near zero alkali content
  • High thermal shock resistance
  • Good flatness and surface quality
  • Low thermal coefficient of expansion

Typical Applications

  • Substrate for Filter or Mirror Coatings
  • Thin Film Substrate for Electronic applications
  • Active Matrix Flat Panel Displays (AMLCD)
  • Electroluminescent Displays
  • Optical Windows
  • Sensor Technology

1737 glass is a near zero alkali alumino-silicate glass material with a high temperature and shock resistance. 1737 glass can withstand the rigorous cycles of the newer poly-silicon transistor processes. The special properties of 1737 low alkali speciality glass, besides its strain point of 666°C, allow special manufacturing processes for various electronic components. The technical glass also is a good choice to be used as an optical substrate for filter- or mirror coatings. 1737 glass from Corning is more durable than 7059 and it has an even lower level of alkali than the 7059 microsheet material. In most applications unannealed 1737F glass can even replace annealed 7059, resulting in considerable material cost savings to the user.
