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.

ZnS FLIR<br />
Zinc Sulfide ZnS CLEAR<br />
Polycrystalline Zinc Sulfide (FLIR – Forward Looking Infrared)<br />
is manufactured through applying a chemical vapor<br />
deposition (CVD) process. To produce ZnS CLEAR, ZnS FLIR<br />
is treated using a hot isostatic pressing process to eliminate<br />
microscopic voids and defects that occur in the regular<br />
grade-material.<br />
Zinc Sulfide ZnS FLIR<br />
Regular (FLIR) grade ZnS is a polycrystalline optical material<br />
that offers high performance in terms of fracture strength<br />
and hardness. ZnS FLIR is often used in the 8 – 12 μm region.<br />
The material is used in applications such as IR windows for<br />
military systems.<br />
ZnS CLEAR is commonly used in multispectral applications<br />
across the visible to infrared region from 0.4 μm – 12 μm.<br />
It is available in large sizes and custom shapes and formats.<br />
These can include windows, domes or lens blanks.<br />
