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.

Assembly solutions<br />
<strong>SCHOTT</strong> offers a broad range of assembly solutions to the<br />
home appliance industry including encapsulation and a<br />
broad range of assembly solutions combining glass with<br />
plastics and metal parts (i.e. for refrigerator shelves, washing<br />
machine lids and doors). Solutions to combine glass with<br />
lighting are also available.<br />
7.7 Insulated glass doors for commercial<br />
refrigeration<br />
<strong>SCHOTT</strong> Termofrost ® insulated glass door systems are used<br />
in a broad range of applications for commercial refrigeration<br />
to display and store chilled products down to +2 °C, and<br />
frozen goods down to –25 °C. The glass doors typically contain<br />
double or triple glazed insulated glass units, the front<br />
and rear panes are made of tempered safety glass. Self-closing,<br />
condensation-free door systems are essential to display<br />
food and beverages at the right temperature, while incurring<br />
the lowest possible energy costs.<br />
7.8 Radiation shielding glasses<br />
RD 30 protective clear glass filters are used against X-scattered<br />
rays at mammography work stations. Therefore, the<br />
lead equivalent is 0.5 mm Pb. RD 30 can also be used for all<br />
other applications in the X-ray area if 0.5 mm Pb is required.<br />
RD 30 is a drawn flat glass. The lead oxide content is more<br />
than 22 percent by weight. Therefore, a density of above<br />
3.13 g/cm³ is reached, so that 6 mm glass thickness fulfill all<br />
legal safety regulations.<br />
Radiation shielding glass RD 50 ® protects against X-rays and<br />
gamma rays in the medical and technical field. RD 50 ® is an<br />
extra dense flint glass. Its protective effect is based on its<br />
high content of heavy metallic oxides of nearly 70 percent<br />
by weight. The lead oxide content alone is more than<br />
65 percent by weight. Therefore, a density of above 5.05 g/<br />
cm³ is reached, so that relatively small glass thicknesses<br />
fulfill all legal safety regulations. Radiation shielding glass<br />
RD 50 ® meets the requirements of DIN EN 61331-2.<br />
