What Is AGC Glass
AGC Corporation (formerly Asahi Glass Company) is one of the world’s leading glass manufacturers, producing specialty glass products with precisely controlled compositions and manufacturing processes. AGC glass encompasses multiple product families optimized for specific applications.
Key properties that distinguish AGC glass include:
- Superior surface quality: Float process combined with rigorous quality control produces glass with minimal inclusions, bubbles, and surface defects. Surface roughness typically below 0.5nm Ra for premium grades.
- Tight thickness tolerances: Advanced manufacturing enables thickness control within ±0.01mm for thin glass and ±0.1mm for standard thicknesses, ensuring consistent optical performance across production batches.
- Customizable strengthening: AGC’s proprietary ion-exchange processes can achieve surface compressive stress exceeding 700 MPa, resulting in glass that withstands impacts and bending that would shatter conventional glass.
