    On January 6, Corning, a global leader in specialty glass and ceramic materials, unveiled Corning Gorilla Antimicrobial Glass
    at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
    This is the first antimicrobial protective glass registered with the U.
    S.
    Environmental Protection Agency, which uses silver ions as an antimicrobial agent to make it antimicrobial active
    by adding silver ions to the glass surface.
    Corning has innovated manufacturing processes and metrology methods to enable precise control of silver content to ensure the mechanical, optical, and dielectric properties
    of Corning Gorilla Glass.

    With the widespread application of touch technology, consumers are gradually realizing the presence of bacteria on the touch surface of mobile devices, especially when sharing touch surfaces at work or other occasions
    .
    James R.
    Steiner, senior vice president and general manager of Corning's Specialty Materials Group, said, "Corning Gorilla Antimicrobial Glass has intrinsic antimicrobial properties that inhibit the growth
    of algae, mold, fungi and bacteria.
    This innovation combines state-of-the-art antimicrobial functionality while maintaining the excellent properties
    of Gorilla Glass.
    "Several manufacturers are currently testing Corning Gorilla Antimicrobial Glass in various applications to prove that it can be produced
    in large quantities.
