What is a Optical Technician? Optical technicians, also known as ophthalmic laboratory technicians, create eyeglasses and contact lenses as well as lenses for binoculars and other optical devices. They fill prescriptions from ophthalmologists and optometrists, ensuring that the lenses refract light at the proper angle to permit optimal vision.
Needled Silica Insulation. InsulBattÃ¤ 1800 High Temperature needled silica insulation is fabricated from high quality Silica that will not burn and will withstand continuous exposure to temperatures of 1800Â°F / 982Â°C. This material resists most acids and alkalis and is unaffected by most bleaches and solvents. It is highly flexible and conformable.
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories have developed a new lightweight material to withstand ultra-high temperatures on hypersonic vehicles, such as the space shuttle.
