VITRON – your glass s specialist

VITRONIT® machinable glass

technical data

VITRONIT® machinable glass is white and airtight. You can use conventional metal working tools to machine it very precisely into complicated shapes at an attractive price even for small quantities. No post-firing is required after the machining stage.

This material combines the excellent properties of s with the exquisite machinability of metals, offering you manufacturing and application options adapted to your individual requirements.
