Deployment of the CTA (Cherenkov Telescope Array) telescope

This year, in collaboration with the french CEA, Verre Industrie is supplying hexagonal machined glass for the production of the mirrors of the 110 telescopes from 4 to 23 m in diameter for the CTA project.

We were selected for our ability to perform high-precision machining in a reproducible way.

The CTA is the world’s first observatory dedicated to the study of very high energy gamma rays.

In 2023 Verre Industrie celebrates its 70th anniversary!

From Pyrex® to Borofloat®.

 

Since the mid-1960s, Verre Industrie has been processing borosilicate glass, originally under the Pyrex® brand and now under the Borofloat® name.

Today, it is used in particular in pharmacy, chemistry, medicine, the construction of furnaces, aeronautics or optics.

Borofloat® has a low coefficient of expansion.

It is distinguished by excellent resistance

– thermal (up to 500°)

– mechanical

– chemical attacks.

Practically without absorption in the visible spectrum (T>90%) and the infrared, Borofloat® has a very high level of transparency and remains practically colorless.

Verre Industrie does process Borofloat® in all its forms and in all common thicknesses.
