Neoceram
THERMAL SHOCK RESISTANT
HIGH HEAT RESISTANCE 1292F
HEAT-RESISTANT GLASS-CERAMIC FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY HEATING APPLIANCES
Neoceram is a transparent low-expansion glass-ceramic with a number of outstanding features that include high resistance to thermal shock, high mechanical strength, and excellent electrical characteristics. With an almost zero thermal expansion coefficient, the applications for Neoceram continue to grow. Trusted for over 30 years, Neoceram now features a smoother, texture-free surface with less visible color. This next generation of Neoceram was developed specifically to address the larger glass areas that are becoming common in contemporary hearth designs.

NORMAL SERVICE
No breakage from excess thermal shock is assumed. Non-abused glass should last indefinitely.
THERMAL SHOCK
The physical shock glass undergoes when evenly heated to the above listed temperature, then plunged into water at 50F without breakage. This data is approximate only and varies with thickness.

NEOCERAM VS. SODA LIME GLASS: LOSS OF TEMPER OVER TIME
When exposed to heat, traditional Soda Lime glass will lose temper over time. The greater the heat source, the quicker, and more extreme the loss of temper. When temper is lost, the possibility of breakage rises. Neoceram retains its heat resistance indefinitely.
