High-tech multinational company SCHOTT has teamed up with two local preferred partners, Gao Shi Photoelectric Co., Ltd. and Green Glass Holdings Co., Ltd., to increase its sales of BOROFLOAT® specialty glass in the Chinese market. SCHOTT produces borosilicate float glass in Germany using German engineering and manufacturing, which marks the highest quality standards. The excellent properties of this borosilicate float glass make it exceptionally good: it also has excellent heat resistance, excellent high light transmission, high chemical stability and excellent mechanical strength. SCHOTT will present its BOROFLOAT® specialty glass at the China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) (Schott Booth # 9D29), held in Shenzhen, China from September 2nd to 5th, 2014.

BOROFLOAT® is a borosilicate float glass. In 1993, German specialty glass manufacturer Schott was the first in the world to successfully introduce borosilicate float glass. For more than 20 years, the company has been continuously improving the quality of its materials and bringing this versatile product to many applications around the world: oven doors, biochips for modern medical technology, theater spotlights, film projectors and diving robots. Components and even key components of space exploration astronomical telescopes.

Mr. Chen Wei, General Manager of SCHOTT China, said: "The Chinese market has also shown great interest in this material. We have noticed that the demand for high quality materials in the Chinese market is growing steadily. Recently, local companies are constantly producing more and more. The more high-tech products. Therefore, our high-quality borosilicate float glass has huge market potential here. We have seen some new application areas relying on our BOROFLOAT? glass, for example, China's optics industry."

SCHOTT recently teamed up with Shanghai Gaoshi Photoelectric Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Green Glass Holdings Co., Ltd. to provide better services to the Chinese market. In addition, SCHOTT also provides technical support directly to customers from its customer service center in Suzhou. "Our products are very suitable for the Chinese market: we provide our customers with high quality specialty glass made in Germany, but we support it through a local sales and technical support network. For us, it is important to be close to the customer and reduce response time. This is why we have established this optimized business model," added General Manager Chen.

BOROFLOAT? Special glass combines four product characteristics to create superior performance:

· Excellent heat resistance: The extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion not only makes BOROFLOAT® superior in high temperature resistance and thermal shock resistance, but also can handle it even under high temperature and rapid cooling working conditions.

· Excellent light transmittance: SCHOTT's special float glass not only has a high light transmittance in the visible wavelength range but also in the infrared and ultraviolet bands.

· High chemical stability: Acid, alkali and organic matter can hardly affect the performance of BOROFLOAT? special float glass. In addition, it has an extremely high water resistance.

· Excellent mechanical properties: anti-wear and scratch resistance, as well as superior bending strength, is the basis for the superior mechanical stability of BOROFLOAT® glass. In addition, this material has inherent lightweight properties.

A study conducted by the world-famous Fraunhofer Institute* proves that BOROFLOAT® has higher mechanical strength than other similar products and is lighter in weight! For more information, please visit: Cn/borofloat
