Shock-resistant and durable: pre-stressed DURATAN® special glass tubing
With DURATAN®, SCHOTT shows its expertise in glass for demanding applications. Borosilicate glass tubing is based on the well known DURAN®, and a thermal toughening process additionally pre-stresses the tube wall. The pre-stressed glass is thus two to three times more resistant to tension and mechanical shock than untreated glass. Since the diverse features of DURAN® are preserved, DURATAN® also provides advantages over plastics such as high scratch resistance and light stability, high resistance to UV radiation, as well as high chemical resistance and temperature-change resistance.
Suited to demanding exterior use
These features make DURATAN® ideally suitable for exterior applications such as:
- Safety lights in explosive atmospheres
- Sight glasses and display cylinders for product presentations
- Sight glasses in pipeline construction
- Tunnel lighting
- Outdoor lighting
- Interior and exterior architecture
- Art and design
