  • The World of SCHOTT 3
    The World of SCHOTT 3 SCHOTT is a leading international technology group in the areas of specialty glass and glass-ceramics. With more than 130 years of outstanding development, materials and technology expertise we offer a broad portfolio of high-quality products and intelligent solutions that contribute to our customers’ success. Our true passion for glass is sparked by imagination and fueled by expertise. Whatever you envision, we will find a way to realize it. We reinvent glass in all its numerous properties. We can bend it, roll it up and off, combine it with metal, light it up, make it round, turn it into glass powder or make it ultra-thin. SCHOTT creates solutions that bring unique products and novel applications to life – “glass made of ideas”. The memorial next to the Atocha station in Madrid, Spain: An elliptical cylinder that is made solely of highly transparent and temperature- resistant borosilicate glass blocks from SCHOTT conveys the idea of preserving an intangible moment and creates a translucent space for reflection. 4 5 The SCHOTT Group A team of experts providing innovations you can rely on. The chemistry was right in every sense when glass chemist Otto Schott teamed up with physicist Ernst Abbe and mechanic Carl Zeiss. In 1884, Otto Schott was the first to develop and apply scientifically-based methods to glass making, a revolutionary concept that enabled him to develop completely new optical and technical glasses. He achieved matchless quality levels in glass manufacturing and enhanced the design of new glasses, such as the now well- known borosilicate glass, for groundbreaking solutions.

Joyce SizingSizing ¾The hair-like filaments are coated with an aqueous chemical mixture called a "sizing," which serves two main purposes: 1) protecting the filaments from each other during processing and handling, and 2) ensuring good adhesion of the glass fiber to the resin. Return © 2003, P. Joyce WindersWinders ¾ In most cases, the strand is wound onto high-speed winders which collect the continuous fiber glass into balls or "doffs.“ Single end roving ¾ Most of these packages are shipped directly to customers for such processes as pultrusion and filament winding. ¾ Doffs are heated in an oven to dry the chemical sizing. Return © 2003, P. Joyce IntermediateIntermediate PackagePackage ¾ In one type of winding operation, strands are collected into an "intermediate" package that is further processed in one of several ways.
