Glass is an amorphous solid which means its atoms are randomly oriented.
A continuous maximum of 900C to 1100C, depending on the size and shape of the part.
Glass can be fused quartz, fused silica, borosilicate, and soda-lime glasses as well as exotic glasses
Chemically known as SiO2, silica is "pure" glass.
McDanel’s optics division is able to source a wide range of fused quartz, fused silica, borosilicate, and soda-lime glasses as well as exotic glasses based on customer requests and requirements.
For a detailed comparison of glasses see our material comparison guide. Talk to one of our representatives today to discuss your glass needs.
