Barium titanate glass is a unique optical glass formulation based on a large percentage of Barium Oxide (BaO) and Titanium Oxide (TiO2), as opposed to other traditional glass formulas which are mostly Silica (SiO2). Barium titanate glass offers a much higher refractive index compared to other glass formulations. Refractive Index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the specified material - a description of how light slows down as it passes through an optical material. High refractive index microspheres are critical when used for optical systems where high refractive power is required such as endoscopy, micro-optics, defense and microscopy. Barium titanate glass microspheres will reflect back more light directly to the viewer. High index of refraction enables retroreflectivity which is often desired in guard rails, traffic signs, reflective paint, tape or clothing. Barium titanate glass hemispherically coated with aluminum ensures that the light bounces off the aluminum- coated half of the sphere and produces the retroreflective effect for high visibility in dark conditions.

Lists combine the ease of Bookmarks with the versatility of Tags. Instead of one collection of bookmarked items, create as many collections, called "Lists," as you need.
Find the link to your List page in the user menu.
All Tags have been converted to separate Lists, and your bookmarked items have been saved to a "Bookmarks" List.
When you click the Add to List button, a dropdown of your existing Lists appears. Click the List name to which you want to add this product or formula.
You can also create a new List. Simply click "Create a New List" and enter a name.
When you define a new List, the current item is automatically added to it. You can add a product or formula to as many Lists as you need.
Easily see which Lists this item appears in, and quickly go to that List from the links that appear on the page.
