With NEXTREMA, SCHOTT has developed a high-performance glass ceramic for industrial applications, that not only withstands temperatures of up to 950 °C, but also tolerates thermal shocks of up to 820 °C, as shown in this video here.
The technical reason for these fascinating properties is a thermal expansion coefficient of almost zero.
The glass ceramic panels, mainly made from natural raw materials such as quartz sand, have therefore replaced the problematic asbestos wire gauzes in laboratories. Other typical applications are (transparent) covers, e.g. for radiant heaters in soldering ovens or IR-heaters, sight glasses or vision panels in the process industry, but also high-performance reflectors in digital projectors.
