Aluminosilicate Glass for Custom Cover Glass

Aluminosilicate glass is a high-performance glass material widely used for premium cover glass applications that require excellent strength, durability and optical performance. Compared with traditional soda-lime glass, aluminosilicate glass provides superior resistance to scratches, impact and thermal stress, making it an ideal choice for smartphones, industrial displays, automotive displays and other electronic devices.

WM Cover Glass provides custom aluminosilicate glass solutions including cutting, CNC machining, chemical strengthening, silk screen printing, AR/AG/AF coating and OCA lamination to meet different OEM requirements.

What Is Aluminosilicate Glass?

Aluminosilicate glass is a type of specialty glass containing aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) and silicon dioxide (SiO₂), which improves the mechanical strength and chemical durability of the glass.

Through ion exchange chemical strengthening processes, aluminosilicate glass can achieve high surface compression and enhanced impact resistance while maintaining a thin profile.

This makes it one of the preferred materials for:

  • Display cover glass
  • Touchscreen glass
  • Electronic cover lens
  • Automotive display glass
  • Industrial control panel glass

Advantages of Aluminosilicate Glass for Cover Glass

High Mechanical Strength

Aluminosilicate glass offers excellent bending strength and impact resistance after chemical strengthening, helping protect displays from daily damage.


Thin Glass Capability

Available in ultra-thin formats, aluminosilicate glass supports lightweight and slim device designs.

Typical thickness:

  • 0.2mm
  • 0.3mm
  • 0.4mm
  • 0.55mm
  • 0.7mm
  • 1.0mm
  • 1.1mm
  • 1.5mm

(Custom thickness available)
