AF 45 is an alkali-free modified borosilicate glass with a high content of BaO and Al2O3. AF 45, with its specific properties and large range of different thicknesses with tight tolerances, is exceptionally well suited for a number of applications including: liquid crystal displays, electroluminescent displays, CCD covers, hybrid circuits and solar cells. Due to a special down draw production process, AF 45 glass sheets have fire-polished surfaces; this glass type can be used without ground and polished surfaces. AF 45 offers excellent thermal resistance for high temperature applications up to approximately 600°C. Information provided by SCHOTT North America. |
