Cordierite (2MgO·2Al2O3·5SiO2)

A material with an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion and little dimensional change due to temperature changes

Cordierite has a very small coefficient of linear thermal expansion and has a higher specific rigidity than glass-based materials. Taking advantage of these characteristics, it is used for structural parts in semiconductor processing equipment. It is also used as a mirror due to its high surface smoothness. In the field of astronomy and aerospace, it is applied to light observation in various wavelengths and for optical communication. It is also used as an optical system by assembling multiple cordierite components.
