GORILLA GLASS FOR YOUR PHONE OR LAPTOP.

GORILLA GLASS 2,TECHNOLOGY, BY CORNING::
IMPACT AND SCRATCH PROOFING FOR YOUR SMART PHONE OR LAPTOP


Why is Gorilla Glass the new state of the art surface for your smart phone and other tech devices?

The answer is simple: It's a new generation of thinner yet stronger, glass for your important tech devices like your smart phone, laptop, or t.v. set.  It not only resists impact better than normal glass panes of equal thickness; it is resistant to most solvents and liquid chemicals; which means you can clean it with a normal window cleaner or soap and water without scratching the surface.

Does it affect the performance of my touch screens etc.?

Corning states that it actually works better for sensitivity where needed.  It allows the glass coverings to be thinner with increased strength which means that you actually get better performance.

How is it possible to have a thinner glass that is stronger with more scratch resistance?


The glass is placed in a hot bath of molten salt at a temperature of approximately 400°C. Smaller sodium ions leave the glass, and larger potassium ions from the salt bath replace them. These larger ions take up more room and are pressed together when the glass cools, producing a layer of compressive stress on the surface of the glass. *

Does this increase  my cost when I request Gorilla Glass 2 with a new purchase?

The answer is no. It is already available on the newer generation of smart phones, laptops, and even television sets.  You should ask your sales persons if your next purchases come equipped with Gorilla Glass. See the partial list below of manufacturers that are offering the Gorilla Glass surface.


Which manufacturers have products out now that feature Gorilla Glass, or Gorilla Glass 2?
Currently ACER, HTC, SAMSUNG, LENOVO,  and more are using the first generation. Gorilla Glass 2 was just announced Fe. of 2012. "The company expects the first Gorilla Glass 2-equipped devices to be available in April or May. Corning Gorilla Glass is used by more than 30 major brands and has been featured in more than 600 product models, spanning over 600 million units worldwide.
