Outer materials of iPad

Hello, I'm working in a cleanroom environment in which plastic usage must be limited. I have read that the outer materials of the iPad are cast aluminum and glass. Is this true for all iPads, or only the iPad pro?

iPad Pro (3rd generation)

Tempered glass iPad Pro screen Covers How does long term use of tempered glass screen protectors affect the screen coating on an iPad Pro 6th generation device? I read one comment where a user left a screen protector in place for 6+ years and when removed it left the surface of the iPad defaced rough. Is it likely that anyone else has had this same or similar experience with screen protectors. I want to use a tempered glass protector.

All iPads are aluminum.
