PYREX® 7740 borosilicate glass is a special glass composition from Corning with excellent thermal properties. The material is an industry standard since a long time used for the manufacturing of glass wafers and temperature resistant optics. A low coefficient of expansion which is nearly only one-third of what ordinary soda-lime glass materials can offer allows a good heat shock resistance.

PYREX borosilicate glass raw blocks nullspacer Unprocessed PYREX® borosilicate glass materials come in unpolished large glass blocks or as rolled sheet glass. The materials can be sawn, ground, polished, and shaped according to customer-specific requirements.

It facilitates to use of PYREX® glass at a high operating temperature. Glass Wafers made of PYREX 7740 borosilicate glass materials were a standard for the semiconductor industry for a long time and provided a good solution for anodic bonding processes because the thermal coefficient of expansion is close to silicon. A high chemical resistance, which is much better than the one of soda lime glass, and an excellent optical transmission over a wide wavelength PYREX unpolished borosilicate glass raw material from Corningrange make PYREX® borosilicate glass a versatile option for many special glass and optics applications that are not possible with soda lime glass materials. PYREX® glass can be ground, polished, shaped, and coated according to customer specific requirements.
