      Saint-Gobain Crystals - Empowering a Better World

      Our core technology is the manufacture of high-performance engineered materials to solve our customers’ unique challenges.

      As the premier Scintillation detector manufacturer for ionizing radiation detection: Alpha, Beta, Neutrons, Gamma Rays, X-rays, we provide high-quality scintillation materials with superior resolution and advanced photo-sensor integration.

      Our high-strength Sapphire (Single Crystal Alumina-Oxide), one of the hardest materials in existence, has properties to withstand extreme conditions such as high-temperature, high-pressure or harsh chemicals.

      We also produce quality X-ray Analyzers for Synchrotrons and Garnet substrates used to grow semiconductor crystal layers.

      Saint-Gobain Commitment: Net Zero Carbon by 2050

      Sapphire Versatile High-Performance Solution

      Do you have a ceramic tube that isn't giving you the lifetime and performance you want? Have you thought about sapphire? Single crystal alumina oxide "Sapphire" is a far superior material over Glass, Alumina, or Quartz for chemical, high temperature, fluorine-based plasma, abrasion, and impact resistance. Sapphire can provide the perfect solution for applications such as

      • thermocouple
      • plasma applicator
      • excimer laser pre-ionizer corona tube
      • flash lamp laser

       

      • sight tube
      • nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
      • plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
      • supercritical fluid products
      • or whatever new application you have in mind

       

      Our Sapphire is Edge-Fed-Growth (EFG) and as-grown “un-machined” surfaces are not only stronger against aggressive thermal cycling and corrosion to the likes of HF and F plasma, but are also visually transparent! EFG allows for a cost-effective means to create near net shape, transparent tubes without the need of expensive post-fabrication processes. Consider EFG Sapphire tubes for your UV, IR and sight glass applications!

      We grow Sapphire square, rectangular, polygonal, or round tubes that can be open, one end closed off or plugged.
