Gorilla Glass

Gorilla Glass is Corning’s chemically strengthened alkali-aluminosilicate cover glass, known for high resistance to scratches, cracks and drops.

Also known as: Corning Gorilla Glass, Gorilla Glass Victus

Gorilla Glass is a protective glass produced by Corning, renowned for its resistance to scratches, cracks, and mechanical damage. It is an alkali-aluminosilicate glass chemically strengthened through an ion-exchange process, achieving high surface hardness and flexibility, while maintaining excellent optical transparency.

Gorilla Glass is used in touchscreens for smartphones, tablets, laptops, and also in industrial and medical displays that demand long-lasting durability. Newer generations, such as Gorilla Glass Victus, provide even greater drop resistance while being thinner, reducing device size and weight. In HMI systems and outdoor devices, Gorilla Glass is often combined with anti-glare, antimicrobial coatings or optical bonding for enhanced readability and environmental resistance.
