Plain Aluminosilicate Glass, Feature : Transparent

Aluminosilicate glass is a type of glass that contains aluminum oxide, usually at levels between 20% and 40%. It has several properties that make it suitable for various applications, such as:

High strength and scratch resistance: Aluminosilicate glass is chemically strengthened by an ion exchange process that increases its surface compressive stress and hardness. It is often used for touchscreens and touchscreen protectors12.

Resistance to high temperature: Aluminosilicate glass can withstand temperatures up to 800°C and has a high softening point of 1010°C. It is comparable to ceramics in terms of thermal resistance12.

Resistance to chemical degradation: Aluminosilicate glass has a low dissolution rate and a high chemical durability. It can resist corrosion and erosion by acids, alkalis, and salts12.

Resistance to thermal shock: Aluminosilicate glass has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which means it does not expand or contract much when heated or cooled. It can be used as a sealing material for hot systems and equipment12.

There are different types of aluminosilicate glass, depending on their chemical compositions and oxide content. Some examples are alkaline earth aluminosilicate glass, alkali aluminosilicate glass, e-glass, aluminoborosilicate glass, and gorilla glass12. Each type has its own specific properties and applications.
