B270 Colorless Optical Glass is a high-performance optical glass widely used in optical systems due ...
K9(BK7) has excellent mechanical properties and very low bubble K9(b270) product drawing and impurities, with good scratch resistance. Because of its stable chemical properties, no special treatment grinding and polishing. It is applied in many fields such as photoelectron, microwave technology, diffraction optical element and so on.
