Protect Eyes with "Safe Viewing"
Borofloat® UV Blocking Windows
|
Abrisa Technologies provides heat resistant Borofloat® Ultraviolet (UV) Blocking Filter Glass. This non-heat absorbing glass has excellent optical characteristics including heat stability for consistent color balance and performance as well as rugged durability. The glass characteristics make it ideal for use as a “safe viewing” UV Blocking optical window for UV curing systems, optical imaging systems, instrumentation, and as a UV filter in front of a lighting system, protecting viewers eyes from damaging UV radiation emittance.
Protecting eyes from strong UV light reduces
the risk of cataracts, retinal damage, and the possibility of eye cancer. By utilizing Abrisa Technologies UV blocking glass, 99% of the harmful UV radiation below 400nm is mitigated, while still transmitting high-quality light exceeding 85% with virtually no color or viewing distortion due to the sharp filter cutoff, rendering an index of 95 in the visible light region.

On-Demand Laser Cut Gaskets & Masks - Tapes, Films & Elastomers |
Abrisa Technologies offers in-house, on-demand laser cutting of gasket and masking materials for flat glass optical components. This value-added, fast turn cutting of high-performance gaskets provides increased supply chain simplicity for our Abrisa Technologies’ customers by minimizing the number of vendors required to provide an Optical Turnkey Solution.
The speed and precision of the laser results in crisp and clean edges with a high-quality surface finish and consistency. Generic or highly complex geometries and intricate shapes with small features can be created to fit our customers’ application-specific requirements.
Abrisa Technologies' laser cut gaskets range in size from 0.100” x 0.100" up to 23” x 17” while thickness can range from 0.10” up to 0.125”. The minimum cut width is 0.04”.

Solite Ultra-Transparent Patterned Glass Provides Uniform Diffusion & Softening |
Solite is an ultra-transparent, optically clear, low iron float glass with a distinctive symmetrical stippled/diamond pattern on one surface. Solite patterned glass provides uniform diffusion and softening while retaining high transmission values and minimal absorption. The glass is ideal for LED downlights, spotlights, solar panels, and flood light applications where light beam management “spread” is required.
Acting as a filter or a uniformity lens, Solite delivers better light control for an even, softened, diffused beam spread without glare or flashpoints. Abrisa Technologies currently stocks Solite in thicknesses of 1/8” with sheets in both rounds and squares for custom fabrication requirements.
