HD Dichroic

Remnant Dichroic glass:

Substraight: Borosilicate COE 33

Remnant sheet glass.

These are nice large pieces and can be used for a number of projects!

This is premium optical quality glass (Borofloat / Borosilicate ) originally used  for the professional lighting industry that can also be used for glass blowing, fusing, slumping, dichroic bead & marble making. This glass can also be cut easily with an oil cutter and used as flats for Jewelry, Stained Glass Projects, Candle Holders, Lighting Sconces etc.

The expansion coefficient (COE approximately 32-34 / thickness is approx 3.3mm).  

Not to be mixed with lower coefficient glass.

Borosilicate glass is considered a hot glass and is mostly used for high heat applications such as lighting and is only compatible with other glass that has the same COE  (33) I.E. Borofloat, Pyrex, Simax, Kimax, Duran.

When cutting the glass you want to cut the uncoated surface.

To determine the coated surface all you need to do is to look at the edge you will see the coating on one side.  

When blowing, fusing etc. You will want to heat the uncoated side for best results.

The majority of our large pieces of dichroic glass will have Nitto tape adhered to the coated side as to protect the coated surface. You will want to remove the Nitto tape prior to working with the glass.  

Scrap

Some notes:

We are not responsible for any breakage during shipping.

Once again, you will note that the coated side has blue transparent Nitto tape. This protects the coated surface while stored in stock and when the glass is being cut.  

To remove the Nitto tape peal back slowly until completely removed. If you’re having trouble removing the Nitto tape use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the tape prior to removing.

We recommend that you clean both surfaces with either warm soapy water with a cool water rinse or denatured alcohol prior to use. This is to remove any and all cutting vehicles and finger oils from the substrate and coating. 

In any case if the Nitto tape is not apparent then it was taken off during cutting or cleaning.
