SCHOTT PURAVIS™
eco-friendly glass optical fibers

Superior physical and chemical properties of eco-friendly PURAVIS™ glass optical fibers provide improved performance.
In addition, PURAVIS™ is lead-free and the entirely newly developed manufacturing process is environmentally friendly, avoiding the use of arsenic and antimony, two elements commonly used in glass refining.

One of the most exciting advantages that PURAVIS™ offers is the outstanding transmission of white light.

• Due to the lower color shift, illuminated objects retain their natural color.
• Thanks to the improved numerical aperture, the light guide captures more light from the very start.
• The very low dispersion of PURAVIS™ results in illumination with high color uniformity.

An advantage of PURAVIS™ is its superior longivety achieved by improved chemical stability and low solarization, which is particularly important for medical reprocessing like autoclaving or cleaning, but also for outdoor applications.

Technological advances always open up new application opportunities that have never been explored before.

For example, fluorescence-based applications in the area of medical diagnostics and microscopy are both possible due to improved transmission in the near UV range.
