Glassblowing

A basis of experiemental scientific work is the availability of suitable laboratory equipment. INT uses the work of the glass engineering workshop, which is a part of the Institute for Technical Chemistry – Division of Chemical-Physical Processing. This workshop has the ability to manufacture unique pieces and small series according default and imagination of INT's scientists.        

 

Know How

Individually produced tools enable the manufacturing of glass parts with very exact internal and/or external dimensions.

The modification of existing plants and components and/or their repair,  the preparation of ampuls, evacuating and melting of the ampuls, filled by users as well glass-to-glass-sealings between different glasstypes, metall-glass-sealings, glass-ceramic-sealings, UV-restraining coating of glassapparatus by diffusion colouring in the furnace are possible.


By contacts to external companies of the ranges building of large-scale glassapparatus, silvering of glassapparatus, laserprocessing (cutting, marking and melting) water-jet-cutting of glass, treatment of glass with ultrasonic grinding machines and sintering of glass the manufacturing spectrum is complete.


By the glas engineering workshop manufactured glass-gadget (Vacuum-Line) in a INTs laboratory of anorganic chemistry 

 

Techniques


The following methods are used:


- Hot Treatment with burners and furnace
- Cold Treatment by grinding, drilling and manual milling
- Adhesion methods


 

Materials


 Principally all technical glasses could be handled
