Sapphire Glass
John Moncrieff - Sapphire Glass Supplier
Experience the unparalleled hardness, transparency and thermal stability of Sapphire Glass. Pure Aluminium Oxide (Corundum) one of the hardest natural substances next to diamond. It can be considered a ceramic more than a glass, but its’ transparency, give it the benefits of a glass. The unique properties of Sapphire Glass make it ideal for several specialised applications. In particular where there is a requirement for maximum heat resistance, and maximum hardness.
Sapphire Glass is renowned for its scratch resistance, It can only be scored by diamond, and is used for watch glass on high specification watches, such as Rolex. It is non-porous and is highly resistance to the most abrasive chemical attack, unlike other glasses it is almost totally insoluble. The optical transmission of Sapphire Glass is renowned, making it suitable for high specification lens and similar.
As a leading supplier of Sapphire Glass, John Moncrieff offers a wide ranged of products tailored to meet the demanding requirements of various industries.
