Schott has entered into an agreement to acquire Primoceler, a Finnish specialist in glass micro bonding, to advance its competance in the field of hermetic packaging. Primoceler’s technology creates new possibilities for protection of sensitive electronics
Schott will be presenting the newest updates to its established product Zerodur, which has now been used for five decades as a high precision glass-ceramic material. Currently, the product is being used in the manufacture of the primary mirrors for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) of the European Southern Observatory, which will consist of 798 hexagons. Astronomers rely on Zerodur because all of the stability and the ability to handle extreme temperature fluctuations.
Schott has developed two inorganic ceramic phosphor materials that are temperature-stable, heat-conductive, and energy-efficient
