Gorilla Glass

With glass-based screens, a cell phones and some gadgets will certainly make some people feel anxious, it is none other than the base material of glass is so fragile. But with the Gorilla Glass technology, developed by a company named Corning, the glass manufacturing from the United States, these concerns could be remedied now.

Gorilla Glass screen has the uncomparable ability by other types of glass. One capability that is unbreakable and scratch-resistant course. In addition, Gorilla Glass also has a fairly thin size, ranging from 0.5 mm to 2 mm and easy to clean.

It thus makes Gorilla Glass has the ability unbreakable and scratch-resistant due to the manufacturing process is nothing but excellent. Gorilla Glass is made through a process of melting glass fabric with a high accuracy rate. The work was carried out automation, resulting in a clean glass surface, flat smooth and clear. And Corning claims to have a distinctive technique in making Gorilla Glass, which is one of the advantages of not requiring grinding and polishing process.

After that, the glass that is so going through the process of ion exchange. Namely the process of giving strength to the glass chemically. The trick is, the glass dipped in hot containers that contain molten salt material at a temperature of 400° C. Furthermore, small amounts of sodium ions are released from the glass, and will be replaced with potassium ions in large quantities derived from the salt melt earlier. This potassium ion will coat the glass and will be compressed along with the cooling of the glass temperature. Resulting in a layer that acts like "armor" on the glass. Ion exchange process is also what makes Gorilla Glass can be made in sizes that are thin but still sturdy.

So, with the presence of several types of smartphones are equipped with Gorilla Glass screen like Nokia 700, of course, will further make its users no longer need to worry the screen will be broken or scratched caused by undesirable things, it was easy to clean the phone screen as well.
