4
AvanStrate Inc . ( ASI ), the global manufacturer of LCD glass substrates , introduces AvanRhino Cover Glass in their latest product portfolio . The new AvanRhino Cover Glass provides consumers with an exceptional drop and scratch performance , and finds versatile application for smartphones , laptops , tablets and automobile monitors .
On the launch , Akarsh Hebbar , Managing Director - AvanStrate Inc . said , “ Avan- Rhino Cover Glass addresses the growing consumer demand for improved durability with its special composition . Also , for every AvanRhino cover glass sold , AvanStrate will contribute towards conservation and protection initiatives of Rhinoceros across the globe .”
The AvanRhino cover glass adopts the
Lithium Aluminosilicate family group with a special composition of Boron Oxide and Silica to reach superior performance . The composition with Boron Oxide reduces the softening point ( 838oC ) enabling easier 3D forming for its customers and reduces coefficient of thermal expansion , thereby increasing the thermal shock resistance . The Silica increases the glass transition temperature which results in enhanced ion exchange range and better strength performance . The AvanRhino cover glass achieves a drop performance of 1.2 meters onto rough surfaces . It also has a higher scratch resistance with 75.6 GPa as per Young ’ s Modulus .
Alan Tsai , CEO - AvanStrate Inc ., added , “ AvanRhino cover glass exhibits extraordinary surface strength and crack resistance . This new foray will position
AvanStrate as a major player in the cover glass market .” The superior cover glass , manufactured in AvanStrate ’ s Tainan facility in Taiwan , is suited for mid to mid-high ranging smartphones and is available at competitive prices as compared to its peers .
The manufacturing for the AvanRhino cover glass is an energy-efficient process . A lower softening point enables 3D forming at lower temperatures and the lower high temperature viscosity requires lesser energy than the competitors thereby resulting in an overall lower carbon footprint .
