Abstract

The invention relates to an aluminoborosilicate glass devoid of alkali, which has the following composition (in wt. % relative to the oxide content): SiO 2 >58-70; B 2 O 3 0.5-<9; Al 2 O 3 10-25; MgO>8-15; CaO 0-<10; SrO-<3; BaO 0-<2; with MgO+CaO+SrO+BaO>8-18; ZnO 0-<2. Said glass is eminently suitable for use as substrate glass, both in display technology and in thin-film photovoltaic technology.
