The thermal properties of VYCOR® 7913 from CORNING are comparable to those of quartz VYCOR raw material and finished opticsglass or fused silica, whereas VYCOR® is significantly more economical. Excellent temperature resistance allows the use of this glass at high continuous operating temperatures of up to 900 °C. The 96% portion of SiO2 in the glass composition results in a low thermal expansion coefficient and high thermal shock resistance. The material better withstands harsh environmental conditions like acids, water, steam, and low and high temperatures than most other glass materials. VYCOR® comes in unpolished rolled glass sheets and is ground and polished to meet the application's technical requirements. The interesting electrical characteristics and high ultraviolet and visible transmittance make this glass an ideal choice for many special technical and optical applications. CORNING discontinued producing VYCOR® raw material many years ago. Please contact us for alternative materials.
