As alkali-aluminosilicate sheet toughened glass migrates into new markets as seen in the new BMW i8, we're exploring opportunities for new applications for Gorilla Glass.

 

Engineered to produce compressive residual stress to prevent the propagation of cracks, Gorilla Glass is thin, light and damage resistance; ideal properties to replace plastics in the high-end eyewear market, specifically around sun, snow, and motorsport applications.

 

Manufactured and marketed by Corning Inc., Gorilla Glass is used primarily as cover glass for mobile phones, displays and media players. As smart wearables converge with performance eyewear, Gorilla Glass  is well positioned for new market applications.
