Touchscreen glasses tuned for specific application types

The Xensation Cover 3D glass is a chemically strengthened, thin lithium aluminosilicate glass for capacitive systems, manufactured using float technology. As a cover glass, it is widely used in the displays of smartphones or tablet PCs, providing a surface that is visually attractive, and extremely scratch and break resistant. The unusually low transition temperature (Tg = 506ºC) allows the efficient production of sophisticated three-dimensional glass formats.

The Xensation Touch glass is chemically resistant and withstands environmental damage. This high transparent borosilicate glass is suitable for resistive touch panels. It can be supplied in a thickness down to 0.03 Millimetres and is considered the world's thinnest glass of its kind. The Xensation Look glass has good transmission characteristics, especially in the infrared, as well as the visible spectrum. This borosilicate glass is therefore well suited for use in optical touchscreens, such as notebooks.

Finally, the "Xensation" Sound clear crown glass has the qualities of high transparency, and surface durability making it suitable for SAW touch panels, especially in large format displays.
