Wire reinforcement and an acrylic coating increase this glass's impact resistance, allowing it to meet Consumer Product Safety Commission 16 CFR 1201 Category 1 and 2 requirements. It's often used in doors.

These sheets won't deform when exposed to temperatures up to 2100° F or from drastic temperature changes. Compared to borosilicate glass, they handle five times more heat. These sheets are highly pure and will not leach impurities into laboratory or electronics manufacturing processes. They're also optically clear and have excellent UV transmission, making them ideal for UV purification systems.

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.

Combining the transparency of glass with the high heat resistance of ceramic, glass ceramic withstands temperatures up to 1255° F and resists rapid temperature changes.

Often seen on mobile devices, human-machine interfaces, and other frequently touched surfaces, this aluminosilicate glass has been chemically strengthened and treated to resist bacteria, mold, mildew, algae, and fungi. Gorilla® Glass 3 is harder and stiffer than borosilicate. It’s at least three times more resistant to scratching than standard aluminosilicate glass, often found as thermometer tubes, and significantly more so than most common glass. And it requires 150 times more weight to crack this glass than soda-lime glass, which is what most jars are made of. But because of how this glass is strengthened, it cannot be cut or trimmed without cracking or shattering.

While this glass doesn’t prevent the spread of viruses, its antimicrobial treatment does prevent the growth of 99.9% of bacteria. This treatment doesn’t change its clarity, unlike most coatings used to prevent bacteria on glass, so it remains optically clear and won’t distort objects.
