Why VITROVEX?

Two functions, one material

Glass provides pressure resistance and buoyancy while remaining transparent, corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic and electrically non-conductive.

Built around your application

Through holes, bonding, coatings, flanges, connector integration, optical windows and other interfaces can be configured to suit the system inside and around the housing.

Engineered and qualified

Application engineering, finite element analysis and hydrostatic pressure testing support the development and qualification of components and complete assemblies.

Proven worldwide

 VITROVEX glass housings have supported deep-sea research and exploration since the early 1990s and are supplied to customers in more than 30 countries.
