From Corning Inc:   

Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced the introduction of Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic, an innovative, transparent, and strengthenable glass ceramic material to help bring advanced toughness to more mobile devices. Gorilla Glass Ceramic significantly improves drop performance on rough surfaces compared to competitive aluminosilicate glasses. The new material expands Corning’s portfolio of durable cover materials for OEMs.

“Gorilla Glass has built a reputation of strength and resilience, and our new glass ceramic material continues this tradition. Designed to offer enhanced toughness, Gorilla Glass Ceramic reinforces our commitment to innovating and engineering high-quality, durable materials for display covers and enclosures,” said David Velasquez, Vice President & General Manager, Corning® Gorilla® Glass.

In Corning lab tests, Gorilla Glass Ceramic survived 10 repeated drops from one meter on surfaces replicating asphalt. An alternative aluminosilicate glass typically failed on the first drop.

Gorilla Glass Ceramic is the latest offering in Corning’s renowned Gorilla Glass portfolio. It will be available within the market on a Motorola device in the coming months.
