ZERODUR® Zero-Expansion Glass-Ceramic
ZERODUR glass-ceramic is a nonporous inorganic glass-ceramic with a completely unoriented and anisotropic structure. The balance between its glassy and crystalline phases gives it a near-zero thermal expansion coefficient. Because the chemical properties and hardness of these phases are similar to optical glass, it can be processed with the same equipment and tools used for optical and technical glass, including cutting, grinding and polishing.
