BOROFLOAT® 33 is a clear and transparent colorless glass. The excellent transparency of BOROFLOAT® 33 both in the ultraviolet and also in the visible and near infrared range of light makes it ideal as a cover panel for many types of floodlights, high-power spotlights and sunbeds (up to operating temperatures of
450 °C). Its extra low inherent fluorescence (light emission), combined with very good surface quality, flatness and homogeneity, opens up a wide-range of possible applications for BOROFLOAT® 33 in optics, opto-electronics, photonics and analytical equipment.

Fluorescence Behavior of BOROFLOAT®33
Some materials have the ability to emit electromagnetic radiation after being activated by high frequency short-wave radiation of high energy intensity. This behavior is called fluorescence. It depends on the material’s purity and its structural characteristics as well as the energy per pulse, pulse rate and the excitation wavelength of the radiation.
BOROFLOAT® 33 is a highly transparent glass showing very weak fluorescence intensities in the visible light wavelength range.
