Absorption describes the absorption of the raw material.

CoatingClass defines which coatings have been applied to the SignificantSide.

CoatingEmessivity describes the emissivity of the coating.

CoatingSubClass provides a vendor-specific unique identification of the coating material.

Electrical Conductivity describes the conductivity of the raw material in Siemens.

Orientation describes the angle of the material coordinates in reference to the MachineProcessingCoordinateSystem.

Reflection describes the reflection of the raw material.

StructureClass defines a vendor-specific description of the glass structure (surface topology). An example for that is Chinchilla white.

SignificantSide specifies whether the significant (coating) side (see definition in Terms) should be at the top or bottom during machining (see also section 3.2.6 and 0).

StructureAlignment specifies how the surface structure is aligned. See StructureAlignmentEnumeration for more information e.g. about the orientation.

Transmission describes the transmission of the raw material.
