Aluminosilicate Glass vs. Potassium Chloride

Aluminosilicate glass belongs to the glass and glass-ceramics classification, while potassium chloride belongs to the non-glass optical ceramics. There are 6 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is aluminosilicate glass and the bottom bar is potassium chloride.
