Modulus, given in KgF/mm^2 the units used in Plop, is

Plate Glass	6000
Duran 50	6300
Pyrex		6400
Suprax 8848	6830
BVC		7200
Fused Silica	7400
Zerodur		9100

Density, given in KG/mm^3 the units used in Plop, is

Plate Glass	2.45E-6
Duran 50	2.23E-6
Pyrex		2.23E-6
Suprax 8848	2.3E-6
BVC		2.44E-6
Fused Silica	2.22E-6
Zerodur		2.48E-6

Poisson's ratio (dimensionless) is

Plate Glass	0.22
Duran 50	0.2
Pyrex		0.2
Suprax 8848	0.20
BVC		0.23
Fused Silica	0.17
Zerodur		0.24

For comparison, 6061 T-6 aluminum, a good and commonly used aluminum
alloy, has the following

Modulus		7025
Density		2.7
Poisson's ratio	0.33
