Products for Glass Production

Heraeus is a leading global manufacturer of precious metal components for every type of glass production.
Our platinum materials, which include the entire spectrum of alloys containing rhodium, iridium and gold, are supplemented by the addition of Dispersion Hardened Platinum materials (DPH), which are ideally suited to extremely high temperatures.

We provide our customers with complete system solutions. Apart from the best choice of material, these also include the configuration and computation of the precious metal components. For design purposes we have access to probably the largest database in the world for obtaining information on high temperature material made from platinum alloys. Yet another useful resource is the Finite Element Modelling (FEM) for the Engineering .

Our portfolio is perfectly complemented by a professional After Sales Service and life cycle management. This involves us getting together with our customers and examining components that have already been in use. Based on the results, an ongoing optimization process is the case.
Together we are aiming for a

- trouble-free usage
- long lifetime and
- weight optimization of all components.

This is literally learning together and this tight cooperation both during and after the application of the products enables a continual improvement of the components.
