SCHOTT Technical Glasses

Apart from its application in optics, glass as a technical material has exerted a formative influence on the development of important technological fields such as chemistry, pharmaceutics, automotive, optics, optoelectronics and information technology. SCHOTT Technical Glasses offers pertinent information in concise form. It contains general information for the determination and evaluation of important glass properties and also informs about specific chemical and physical characteristics and possible applications of the commercial technical glasses produced by SCHOTT. With this brochure, we hope to assist scientists, engineers, and designers in making the appropriate choice and make optimum use of SCHOTT products.

7.1 AMIRAN ®<br />

<strong>SCHOTT</strong> AMIRAN ® – A clear view of what counts: AMIRAN ®<br />

anti-reflective glass offers low reflection, superb color fidelity<br />

and is nearly invisible – even when there are significant<br />

differences in the brightness in front and behind the glass.<br />

It reduces reflections to only a fraction compared to conventional<br />

glass. This makes AMIRAN ® anti-reflective glass the<br />

material of choice for display windows and showrooms,<br />

museums and glass cabinets, luxury box seating in stadiums<br />

and panorama restaurants, television and recording studios,<br />

façades and balustrades, lobbies and foyers. The boundaries<br />

between the outside and inside disappear. This creates the<br />

highest possible freedom of design. Canopies or other constructive<br />

measures designed to avoid reflections are no longer<br />

necessary.<br />

7.2 MIRONA ®<br />

<strong>SCHOTT</strong> MIRONA ® – From sight to insight: One glass, two<br />

purposes: one moment, MIRONA ® translucent, mirrored<br />

glass is a stylish, shimmering mirror of silver, and the next,<br />

it offers unimpeded views in and out. It’s an amazing effect,<br />

and unlike other switchable glass products, this effect is<br />

produced solely by the coatings applied to MIRONA ® mirrored<br />

glass. The light level behind the glass determines<br />

what you see.<br />

7.3 MIROGARD ®<br />

<strong>SCHOTT</strong> MIROGARD ® – Masterful picture glazing: Museums,<br />

collections and galleries all over the world have been relying<br />

on MIROGARD ® anti-reflective glass for decades. This practically<br />

invisible glass that features an anti-reflective optical<br />

interference coating protects valuable works of art. Without<br />

detracting from art enjoyment. Conventional glass reflects<br />

approximately eight percent of incident light. And results in<br />

undesirable reflections. MIROGARD ® glass reduces reflections<br />

in the visible spectrum to under one percent and thus<br />

allows for an unadulterated view of art. At the same time,<br />

MIROGARD ® anti-reflective glass is completely neutral in<br />

color. This means the brilliance of the glazed artwork remains<br />

true to the original and is rendered in its natural colors.<br />

7.4 PYRAN ® , PYRANOVA ® , NOVOLAY ® secure<br />

& PYRANOVA ® secure<br />

Fire resistant glazing solutions from <strong>SCHOTT</strong> act as a barrier<br />

against the spread of fire, smoke and heat radiation in the<br />

event of fire.<br />

PYRAN ® S is manufactured using the micro-float process<br />

and clearly outperforms soda-lime glass. Its special physical<br />

properties allow for large formats and long fire resistance<br />

times.<br />

MIRONA ® translucent, mirrored glass is a mineral glass that<br />

has been coated on both sides. It has low absorption losses<br />

and is extremely homogeneous with respect to reflection<br />

and transmission. Thanks to its optical interference layer, it<br />

has precisely defined states of reflection and transmission.<br />

This purely physical principle makes MIRONA ® glass an ideal<br />

choice to create eye-catching effects.<br />

PYRANOVA ® fire resistant glass with heat protection consists<br />

of two components: glass and a transparent protective layer<br />

between the panes. The layer reacts at approximately 100 °C<br />

and foams up to form an opaque heat shield.<br />

Fire resistant glass can also be used for the protection of<br />

people and property as an attack-resistant glazing. With<br />

NOVOLAY ® secure and PYRANOVA ® secure, <strong>SCHOTT</strong> has<br />

developed highly effective and compact multifunctional<br />

laminates, fulfilling the additional requirements of protection<br />

against impact, burglary and bullet penetration.
