Gorilla Glass is a brand of chemically strengthened glass developed and manufactured by Corning. It is in its eighth generation. Designed to be thin, light and damage-resistant, the glass gains its surface strength, ability to contain flaws, and crack-resistance by being immersed in a hot, potassium-salt, ion-exchange bath.
