Sapphire glass has mechanical and thermal properties similar to technical ceramics.
Sapphire single crystal is characterized by high mechanical, chemical and thermal resistance and also offer a good optical transmission at 200 nm.
Wherever extreme demands on wear resistance, hardness, inertness, thermal and chemical resistance, sapphire is the right solution.
Specific characteristics of sapphire:
- acid-insoluble e.g. to hydrofluoric acid, fluorine or aggressive gases
- excellent optical transmission – from UV to IR
- temperature resistant to 2000 ° C
- Corrosion and abrasion resistance
- extreme hardness, high strength (Mohs hardness 9)
- best compressive strength
- High electrical resistance
- large dielectric constant
