Ultra clear float glass, also known as low - iron glass, is a kind of high - quality float glass6. Here is a detailed introduction:
Characteristics1
High light transmittance: It has a very low iron content, with a light transmittance of over 91%, usually close to 92% for visible light, which is 6% higher than that of ordinary clear float glass. This excellent clarity ensures that true colors are presented, providing the best visual quality.
Low spontaneous breakage rate: After a series of complex purification and processing, the raw materials of ultra - clear float glass contain fewer impurities, which greatly reduces the probability of spontaneous explosion after tempering. So far, there have been extremely few cases of spontaneous breakage, with high safety performance.
Color - neutral appearance: Unlike ordinary clear float glass, which has a greenish tint, especially obvious at the edges, ultra - clear float glass is almost colorless. Its edge is white, like a jewel, presenting a noble and elegant texture, and is therefore known as the “crystal prince” in the glass family.
Processing performance3: It has all the processing characteristics of ordinary clear float glass, and can be tempered, coated with low - e film, silk - printed, heat - bent, laminated, and made into insulating glass, etc.
Applications1
Building field: Widely used in building curtain walls, building decoration, display windows, and glass show counters in high - end shopping malls, which can not only create a large amount of light inside the room, but also enhance the overall beauty of the building. It is also suitable for doors and windows, facades, skylights, and balconies of buildings, integrating fashion and avant - garde architectural styles and design concepts.
Furniture and art: It is often used in the production of modern artworks, furniture, and instruments. Due to its high - transparency and beautiful white edge, it is especially suitable for glass furniture such as glass tables and countertops, which can better showcase the beauty of the furniture itself and the items placed on it.
Solar energy field: Combined with its excellent optical performance and photovoltaic technology, it is applied to solar energy fields such as solar power plants and photovoltaic glass curtain walls, contributing to the development and application of new energy.
