Zerodur belongs to the glass-ceramic composite class of materials and has both an amorphous (vitreous) component and a crystalline component.The most important properties of Zerodur are
* Nearly zero thermal expansion with outstanding 3D homogeneity
* High internal quality
* Good processing behaviour
* Can be polished to a very high accuracy
* Can be coated easily
* Low Helium permeability
* Non-porous
* Good chemical stability
