Synthetic sapphire is a single crystal form of corundum, aka, pure
single crystal aluminum oxide, A12O3. The combination of its unique
properties make sapphire a preferred material for extreme
mechanical, chemical & optical applications. Unlike glass,
sapphire cannot be molded. Sapphire can be grown into near net
shapes such as tubes and rod, then ground and polished if
necessary.
Why choose Sapphire?
One of the hardest materials available
Superior IR & UV transmission compared to other optical materials
Highly scratch & abradant resistant
Highly chemical resistant
Maximum temperature rating of almost 2000℃
Excellent dielectric & loss tangent performance
