About PyroCeramŪ
PyroCeramŪ is commonly referred to as glass but it is actually a transparent ceramic. Pyroceram is 1/8" or 3mm thick.
PyroCeramŪ is a highly transparent ceramic glass having virtually zero thermal expansion. It is produced in flat, rolled sheets. It is excellent for passing UV while blocking IR.
PyroCeramŪ Applications Include: Chemical process sight glass, high temperature vision windows, heat insulators, commercial ovens / broilers, architectural and outdoor lighting, electronics and UV lightwave blocking applications.
Strength and Durability
The Temperature Shock Resistance (TSR) of ceramic glass characterizes the ability of a panel to withstand the temperature shock in which cold water is poured onto a hot panel. As a result of the fact that the TSR of PyroCeramŪ is practically zero, the temperature shock caused by sudden cooling with cold water leads to only minor stresses. The shock resistance of PyroCeramŪ is therefore normally limited only by the maximum operation temperature: Short Term Usage: 760° C / 1,400° F. Long Term Usage: 680° C / 1, 256° F.
- Available in 1/8 inch thickness (3 mm)
- Transparent-amber tint
