Properties of glass

<p>The properties of&nbsp;glass are of outmost importance for manufacturing, processing or for its different applications. RISE can help you with analysis and characterization of physical properties, for instance by process development,&nbsp;research or specification of requirements. Get in contact with RISE and we will help you with your different enquiries about glass and its properties.&nbsp;</p>

Pouring a melt of glass.

RISE take enquiries about all kinds of determination of glass properties, also those not listed below.

Examples of physical properties that RISE analyse and characterize:

  • Density
  • Viscosity (high temperature)
  • Working range for forming of glass
  • Adaptability when joining different glasses
  • Dilatometry (determination of thermal expansion coefficient)
  • Softening temperature
  • Glass transition temperature (Tg)
  • Sintering temperature
  • Crystallization temperature
  • Refractive index
  • Dispersion
  • Colour coordinates
  • Absorption
  • Transmission
  • Surface smoothness using optical profilometry
  • Contact angle
  • Hardness
  • Crack resistance
  • Scratch resistance
  • Bioglass

RISE also helps with modelling of glass properties or when in need of performing search of glasses with specific properties.
