Alumina Loaded Glasses
Hybralox™ is the trade name for a series of hybrid alumina-loaded glasses developed to be harder, stronger and have a higher thermal conductivity than normal sealing glasses.
Hybralox™ is self-glazing and can be metallised and compared to Alumina ceramic, Hybralox™ tooling piece part costs are often lower.
Hybralox™ pre-forms are now being used for a wide variety of integrated circuit seals or as a replacement for glass-to-metal or ceramic-to-metal seals.
Four Hybralox™ Grades are available:
- Hybralox™ 5000 Series - Seals directly to itself or to Kovar without metallising.
- Hybralox™ 6000 Series - Seals Kovar to alumina bases.
- Hybralox™ 7000 Series - Used both for Kovar to Kovar, and Kovar to alumina bases.
- Hybralox™ 9000 Series - Used for compression seals.
These products are manufactured in our GBC Materials Division, PA, USA location.
