PropertiesAbout these values
- Typical room-temperature values for the default supply condition.
- Bars show where LiF sits against the other glass grades in the catalog (shaded band = 10th–90th percentile, tick = median).
- Confirm against the certified mill / resin datasheet before design release.

Strength versus weight in the glass family
Yield strength against density for every glass grade FabDigit runs. LiF is highlighted; hover a dot for its name, or open the interactive family chart.
Property data is compiled from published supplier and standards handbooks and normalised for comparison; hardness values on non-Brinell scales are converted approximately for charting only. Manufacturability limits are FabDigit quote-engine defaults and may be relaxed by engineering review. Nothing on this page is a certification — request mill certs, CoC or material test reports with your order.
