Transparent, Temperature Resistant Glass/Plastic

06/16/2010 6:20 AM

Need a transparent, temperature resistant glass/plastic fabricated chamber -- Properties required besides transparency is hot-plate compatibility and temperature resistance until minimum 150 C over a duration of an hr.

Which materials would help achieve my purpose? Any recommended manufacturers for custom fabrication of this chambers?

Thanks in advance

Do you need something besides PYREX®?

We are using normal off the shelf toughened glass on our ovens for temperatures up to 250 C regularly.

Pyrex is ideal if there is any risk of the material getting splashed or exposed to sudden cool air stream.

If this will be an essentially protected installation and you just need "protection" that you can see through, ANY decent piece of glass will work. Glass melts at about 1100C, so your 150C is a no-brainer.

If there is a risk of rapid temperature change- go with Pyrex, otherwise- just find something that will work. If there is a risk of physical impact, consider tempered glass with wire mesh insert (like windows in fire doors). Again- if no risks, stay with the cheap stuff.
