How to Choose
Choose the Material from Performance, Grade and Finished-Part Requirements
The category owns broad material-family and comparison terms. Named grades and distinct material families keep their own detail pages.
Compare named grades separately
Keep manufacturer, grade, test condition and source attached to each value instead of mixing family-level and grade-level data.
Confirm the starting form
Check sheet, plate, wafer, block, tube or rod availability together with thickness and usable blank size before finalizing the drawing.
Connect material to the finished part
The final selection must also support cutting, machining, polishing, cleaning, coating, inspection and packaging requirements.
Supply Forms
Confirm the Starting Form and Thickness
Available form and usable size must be confirmed for the named material and order.

Application Direction
Match the Material to the Service Environment
The application narrows optical, thermal, chemical, surface and process requirements.

Material Comparison
Compare the Named Materials and Material Families
Exact values remain attached to the named grade, manufacturer, unit, test condition and source. Family pages explain selection direction without mixing grade data.
| Material | Material type | Optical properties | Thermal properties | Available forms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCHOTT B 270 Glass | B 270: Super-white modified soda-lime crown glass | UV-to-NIR high-transmission crown glass | 9.4 x 10^-6/K, 20-300 C | 0.3-10 mm; B 270 Thin 0.3-1.1 mm |
Reference boundary: Published values remain attached to the named grade, source and test condition. ANTGLASS processing is specified separately by the finished-part drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Selection and RFQ Questions for This Category
Use these answers to prepare the material, component, drawing and inspection requirements before quotation.
What is soda lime glass?
Low-iron and clear soda-lime technical glass provide economical visible transparency for covers, scanners, lighting and instrument windows. ANTGLASS supplies and processes SCHOTT B 270 and comparable clear technical glass into custom plates, windows and substrates.
Which grades are included in Low-Iron & Soda-Lime Glass?
The category includes SCHOTT B 270 Glass. Each grade has a separate page so that values and sources are not mixed.
Which properties matter when selecting Low-Iron & Soda-Lime Glass?
Review wavelength or transmission, refractive properties where relevant, CTE, temperature, chemical durability, hardness, thickness, starting form, geometry and finished-surface requirements.
What products can ANTGLASS manufacture from Low-Iron & Soda-Lime Glass?
ANTGLASS supplies and processes these materials into Glass Cover Plates, Precision Optical Glass Windows, Glass Substrates, Microscope Slides & Cover Glass, Custom-Shaped Precision Glass Parts and other drawing-based components.
What should a Low-Iron & Soda-Lime Glass RFQ include?
Provide the preferred grade or target properties, drawing, dimensions, functional surfaces, environment, quantity, inspection, cleaning and packaging requirements.
