Pyroceram
  
 
Pyroceram is a transparent ceramic product for use in applications requiring high heat resistance and thermal shock resistant. Pyroceram is available in 3/16" [5mm] thickness and it has an amber tint, unlike clear float glass. Similar to Neoceram, Pyroceram will have some distortion, which is inherent to most ceramic products. Click here to learn more.
 
Applications:
  • high temperature vision windows
  • ovens/broilers
  • light fixtures
  • electronics 
 
STOCK SHEET SIZE: 42" x 78"

THICKNESS: 3/16"
