MORE ABOUT VARIANTS

Innovation and customization

CONTURAN® is a much-respected benchmark for banishing unwanted reflection. This is due to SCHOTT’s innovative sol-gel dipping process, in which glass is plunged into a metal oxide solution and the resultant coating produces interference that almost completely eradicates reflection. CONTURAN® can also be thermally and chemically toughened, and customized to provide reduced thermal transmittance and ultraviolet and infrared protection.
