When you think of glass components, you think of those with optical applications – those used to split, diffuse, bend, reflect or otherwise alter light wavelengths. These include mirrors, prisms, wedges, cylindrical lenses, wedges, etc.
But glass is not only used to alter light wavelengths. Technical glass components are used in a variety of industries due to their extreme strength, their chemical inertness, and their ability to withstand high temperatures.
