Glass tubing that spans the globe With an annual production capacity of more than 140,000 tons and manufacturing sites on three continents, the SCHOTT Group’s Tubing Business Segment ranks as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of glass tubing. We supply 60 glass types that are manufactured in a broad spectrum of dimensions to customers in nearly every country in the world with the help of a wide distribution network. All of the sites employ common strategies in the areas of research & development, manufacturing, quality assurance and logistics. A continuous exchange of technological...

Selective transmission Depending on the application, SCHOTT glasses remain transparent into the high-energy UV C range or filter out parts of the UV spectrum. In the event that ozone is to be released, glasses with permeability levels below 200 nanometers may be used. SCHOTT glasses already display their strengths during the manufacturing process. For example, they can be hermetically sealed with metals or alloys. Deuterium lamps When efficiency counts: When used in deuterium lamps for analytical purposes, our glasses ensure high UV light yields and permanently resist solarization. Relevant...

Phototherapy and reprography Capable of differentiating: For therapeutic or technical applications, SCHOTT offers glasses that allow for only certain predetermined wavelengths to pass through. Relevant glass types: 8606, 8337B For more technical details please visit the special glass type selector at www.schott.com/tubing Cladding tubes for UV lamps Specific Protection: Our cladding tubes offer maximum safety. They remain permanently transparent and offer the highest chemical and physical stability. Relevant glass types: 8347 For more technical details please visit the special glass type...

Automotive Lighting Visible from a distance The lamps used in the automotive field are exposed to a wide variety of adverse conditions. We produce tubing out of robust aluminosilicate and borosilicate glasses specifically for these types of applications. Thanks to their geometric accuracy, they are easy to process and can be hermetically sealed together with metals. This glass even stands up to both severe heat and sudden changes in temperatures. Front headlights Uniting an unlikely couple: Glass tubing from SCHOTT can be melted together with molybdenum and thus allows for the filament to...

Daytime running lights Direct light in a flexible manner: Light conductors that fit just perfectly and ensure that light is transmitted with only minimal losses are made from ultrapure borosilicate glass. Relevant glass types: 8347 For more technical details please visit the special glass type selector at www.schott.com/tubing Further Processing Variable manufacturing: We supply our customers with exhaust tubes that offer high geometric accuracy and can also be manufactured to required lengths. Relevant glass types: 8252,8253 und NEO 1730 For more technical details please visit the special...

Flash lamps Flash lamps release an enormous amount of light and heat inside an extremely small space in only fractions of a second. Glass tubing from SCHOTT withstands these stresses and guarantees high light yields. Our caesium-doped glasses extend the service life of flash tubes. They can be processed in a very precise manner and are perfectly suited for use in miniature devices. Industrial Durable safety: Our glass tubing can double the service life of flash lamps – for instance, inside aircraft positioning lamps. Relevant glass types: 8487, 8660, DURAN® – For more technical details...

Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL) provide the background light for Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) found in displays, televisions and monitors. Glass tubes from SCHOTT are designed to accommodate this type of energy-efficient lamp. They filter out the harmful UV spectrum, are unbreakable, can be melted together with different electrodes and are available with a diameter from 1.5 millimeters. The appropriate beads are also available. Televisions Covering all the details: Our glasses deliver brilliant reproduction of colors and homogeneous back lighting. True quality that you can see....

General Lighting A wide variety of applications Countless shapes, colors, and light bulb functions can be realized with the help of glass tubing from SCHOTT. In addition to delivering high luminescent efficiency, they offer protection, for instance with high-strength, thermally toughened safety glass. Customized exhaust tubes and cut-to-measure formats help lower manufacturing costs for processing companies. Decorative lighting Unique and distinctive: Using a direct-draw process we manufacture tubing that comes with corners, edges and profiles so that custom lighting ideas can be realized...

Shop- and home lighting Resilient and bright: Thanks to its direct fusing capabilities, glass tubing from SCHOTT represents the ideal technological and economical basis for halogen and metal halide lamps. Relevant glass types: 8252, 8253, 8487 – For more technical details please visit the special glass type selector at www.schott.com/tubing Energy-saving lamps Highly efficient: Due to their UV blocking capabilities and their geometric accuracy, borosilicate glasses are an ideal starting material for lamps that are to be used in an energy-conscious manner. Relevant glass types: 8271N For...
