Technical Info Laboratory Glassware
The DURAN Group
At the beginning of 2005, upon completion of the reorganisation process,
the laboratory and industrial glass sector broke away from SCHOTT AG to
operate under the name of DURAN Group.
With its already well-established production sites in Mainz, Wertheim
and Pula/Kroatia the DURAN Group has a complete value chain ranging
from the glass melting process to precise forming and machining
processes.
It continues to offer its customers the flexibility of a medium-sized company
together with the comprehensive know-how as a result of its experience of
many years.
The Material Glass
General properties
• Very good chemical resistance against water, saline solutions, acids, lyes
and other organic solvents
• Only affected by hydrofluoric acid and at increased temperatures by
strong lyes and concentrated phosphoric acids.
• Form- and volume-stability, even under increased temperatures
• High transparency
• Very low release of ions
Special features of DURAN ®
Very high chemical resistance, nearly inert behaviour, a high usage temperature,
minimal thermal expansion and the resultant high resistance to thermal shock
are its most significant properties.
This optimum physical and chemical performance makes DURAN ® the ideal
material for use in the laboratory and for the manufacture of chemical apparatus
used in large-scale industrial plant.
It is also widely used on an industrial scale in all other application areas
in which extreme heat resistance, resistance to thermal shock,
mechanical strength and exceptional chemical resistance are required.
