The Mohs hardness scale was developed in 1812 by German geologist and mineralogist Friedrich Mohs. It is based on a scale of 1 to 10, with diamond being the hardest material with a top value of 10. The scale is easy to use, but lacks accuracy due to only 10 scales, a near logarithmic relationship to absolute hardness.
We achieve the reliable IK10 requirement impact resistance with our Impactinator® glass even without a laminated glass construction. For the bullet impact test according to EN/IEC 62262, we achieve values of more than 40 joules for the central impact on 2.8 mm thin glass and exceed the requirements of the EN 60068-2-75 standard by more than 100%.
Impactinator® glass is a product family of special glasses with exceptionally high impact resistance. The special properties of Impactinator® glass make it possible to implement glass solutions that were completely unthinkable a few years ago.
Our special glass is particularly suitable for touchscreen applications and protective glass. We reliably conform to the safety and vandalism requirements of EN62262 IK10.
Impactinator® glass is ideal for all applications where impact resistance, weight reduction, image quality and absolute reliability play a central role.
