Robax transparent glass ceramic

As compared to metallic or polymeric materials, the properties of Robax transparent glass ceramic are to be explained by its vitreous nature . Brittleness and high notch impact strength are of great significance to the user as they make the component s load capacity heavily dependent on the component s surface condition as well as on the edge processing, installation, type of impact, panel size, and thickness, and so on. 

Robax is a transparent glass ceramic of a slight amber shade made on the basis of the glass ceramic system Li20-Al203-Si02. 

The transparent glass ceramic from Schott, called Robax , has a slight amber shade and its rolled surface exhibits a slight texture from the manufacturing process.

The low density and the inherent stability, the high thermal load and the good transparency are characteristics that make this glass ceramic an interesting design material. In many environments, Robax is chemically resistant.
