Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 is an environmentally friendly alkali-

aluminosilicate thin sheet glass that is better able to survive the real-
world events that most commonly cause glass failure. Its superior
composition allows a deeper layer of chemical strengthening than is
possible with most other chemically strengthened glasses — making it
both durable and damage resistant.
