ELECTA® Borosilicate glass

Ilva Glass Electa® Borosilicate Glass has a high resistance to the temperatures (up to 500 °) and for this reason it is particularly suitable for use as an internal glass for pyrolytic or self-cleaning ovens.

Its composition allows to reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass matrix, thus increasing the temperature performance.

Another important property is its high resistance to chemical attacks, which makes it particularly suitable for applications in the cooking environment, characterized by the presence of various agents such as steam, fats and acids.

Ilva Glass produces is own Electa® borosilicate glass through Novatech Ltd, the company of the Ilva Glass group specialized in the production of raw materials.

Electa® borosilicate glass is made using a floating molding process (completely similar to the float glass molding process). This allows to obtain perfectly calibrated and highly transparent sheets. The standard glass molding thickness is 3.8 mm, but other thicknesses are available on request.

After appropriate thermal treatments, high performances are obtained in terms of mechanical and thermal resistance of the glass and resistance to scratching.
