  Optical Materials Inventory
  Glass Fab maintains a tremendous inventory of raw optical materials (over 100,000 lbs) to better service the needs of our customers. We take great pride in our inventory to insure it's accuracy and traceability. All materials are 'Melt Lot' controlled so we can provide traceable optical data with your order. One of our strengths is being able to select the materials we carry to various quality levels of straie, bubbles, homogeneity, birefringence, and transmission. We can then machine these selected materials to the blank sizes you require.
