Synthetic Sapphire Glass

Glass Type: Sapphire

Description

Synthetic Sapphire is an aluminum oxide material grown in a hexagonal crystalline form. It’s a very hard material with a high resistance to heat. Because of its crystalline structure, material characteristics can change depending upon the requested orientation. CGQPI can CNC mill, drill, cut, lap, and polish Sapphire in many sizes, shapes, and surface finishes.
