Benefits of working with SCHOTT
Broadest experience in glass-to-metal sealing
At SCHOTT, we can draw on our broad expertise and portfolio of feedthroughs, packaging, and sealing solutions or work together to create a custom design:
In-house know-how for quality-essential processes
The reliability and advanced design of our components are key to helping your product or system to perform optimally over its entire lifetime. Durable hermetic protection requires expert material selection and tight control over production processes:
Glass development, melting, and processing
As a glass company at heart, glass expertise and manufacturing capabilities set us apart in glass-to-metal sealing and all-glass packaging by SCHOTT Primoceler Oy. From material development to selection and processing, SCHOTT’s glass development, melting, glass powder milling, and preform manufacturing are all managed in-house. If we don’t have a suitable sealing glass, we will develop one.
Optimal combination of materials
Only inorganic materials like glass, metal, and ceramics can provide a true gas-tight hermetic seal. We customize each hermetic package to meet specific application needs by considering factors such as thermal expansion and operating conditions like pressure, temperature, current, voltage, and weldability. Selecting the best combination of metal and glass enables optimal performance, thermal management, and precise specifications.
Advanced design and validation
Our development process is built on close collaboration with you to produce optimized designs. With extensive experience and expertise, our engineers can often improve upon original product concepts. They also use advanced simulation and testing methods to thoroughly validate the feasibility and performance of each component design.
Global in-house sealing and plating
SCHOTT sets itself apart with comprehensive global in-house sealing and plating services. Our glass sealing takes place in highly controlled oven conditions with optimized temperatures and gas compositions. Additionally, our extensive in-house plating expertise reduces lead times and offers you consistent quality.
