Description

Sapphire rods are precision optical components fabricated from high-purity single-crystal sapphire (Al₂O₃), combining outstanding optical performance with exceptional mechanical strength. Ranked 9 on the Mohs hardness scale—second only to diamond—sapphire offers superior scratch resistance, chemical inertness, and durability, making these rods ideal for the most demanding optical, industrial, and medical environments.
