Made of aluminosilicate that’s been chemically strengthened, this glass handles more wear and tear than other glass before scratching, cracking, or chipping. It’s often seen on mobile devices and enclosure display windows. This glass withstands drops without shattering from as high as two meters—twice that of standard aluminosilicate, often found as thermometer tubes. It’s also at least three times more resistant to scratching than standard aluminosilicate glass and significantly more so than most common glass. Compared to borosilicate and quartz, it’s harder and stiffer. It’s also more chemical resistant than borosilicate.
Because of how this glass is strengthened, it cannot be cut or trimmed without cracking or shattering. But, unlike glass that is strengthened through coatings, this glass remains optically clear and won’t distort objects. It also reduces glare.
