Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is sapphire glass made from real natural gemstones?
No, sapphire glass used in industrial and optical applications is synthetic sapphire crystal. It is created by crystallizing aluminum oxide at high temperatures. It has identical physical properties to natural sapphire but is man-made for purity and scale.
2. What is the primary advantage of using sapphire glass?
The core advantage is its exceptional hardness (Mohs 9), which makes it highly resistant to scratches from everyday materials. It also offers excellent optical transmittance and extreme thermal stability.
3. Is sapphire glass shatterproof because it is so hard?
Actually, high hardness can mean high brittleness. While it is incredibly scratch-resistant, it may be more susceptible to shattering or chipping under heavy point impacts compared to softer, more ductile materials.
4. What is the transmission range of these optical windows?
Sapphire offers a very broad transmission range, from Deep Ultraviolet (0.15 μm) all the way to Mid-Infrared (5.5 μm), making it ideal for multi-spectral applications.
5. Can sapphire glass handle extreme temperatures?
Yes, it has a melting point of 2040 °C. It can safely operate at temperatures up to 1900 °C in vacuum or inert gas environments, and around 1000 °C in normal air.
6. What coating options are available?
We provide several coating options including Anti-Reflection (AR) to increase transmission, High Reflection (HR) for laser use, Oleophobic/Hydrophobic for easy cleaning, and conductive ITO coatings.
