Pilkington Microfloat™

Yleistä

Pilkington Microfloat™ is an ultra-thin float glass made to exacting standards, suitable for a variety of applications.

Pilkington Microfloat™ is a high-grade float glass made to precise standards. Its excellent plane and low tolerances of thickness make it ideal for a wide range of uses, primarily microscope slides but also cosmetic mirrors, chromatographic plates, photomasks, automotive and technical glass, dependent on its thickness.

The glass is produced as a normal float glass. A silane coating applied during
manufacture to improve its wetability, to give an even film particularly when used as microscope slides, is available on request.
