High Infrared-Absorbing Glass Tubes

Glass tube for reed switches

High infrared absorption allows sealing through local heating using halogen lamps or lasers. STI and SRI have excellent sealability with 52 Ni-Fe alloy, and SHI is excellent with Co-Fe alloy. We can supply “ultra-short glass tubes” as short as 3.0mm in length or “one-side sealed glass”.
