How to Distinguish between Ultra-clear Glass and Clear Float Glass

There are various types of glass, which can meet the different needs of different occasions. By adjusting the material and process of making glass, manufacturers can make the properties of the glass material change greatly, making it more stable and durable. This article will introduce the difference between ultra-clear glass and ordinary clear float glass, how to distinguish them, and deepen your understanding.

1. What is the difference between ultra-clear glass and clear float glass?

        First of all, we must know that clear float glass is also called clear glass, which is the oral name of ordinary transparent glass.

        The differences are detailed as follows:

        1. The explosion rate of glass is low. Because the internal impurities of the ultra-white glass raw material are less, the probability of explosion after tempering is greatly reduced.

        2. Color consistency. Since the iron content in the raw material is only 1/10 or even lower than that of ordinary glass, ultra-clear glass absorbs less green band in visible light than ordinary glass, which ensures the consistency of glass color.

        3. High visible light transmittance and good permeability. The visible light transmittance is greater than 91.5%, using ultra-thin glass as the fish tank, you can even see every water plant clearly.

        4. Low ultraviolet transmittance. Ultra-clear glass has lower absorption of ultraviolet band. Museums and other places that need to prevent ultraviolet rays will choose ultra-clear glass.

        5. The market is large, the technology content is high, and it has strong profitability. The ultra-clear glass has relatively high technology content, difficult production control, and has a stronger profitability than ordinary glass.

        6. The price of ultra-clear glass is 5~10 times that of ordinary glass, but the cost is only 2~3 times that of ordinary glass, which has higher added value.

        Ultra-clear glass:

        It is a kind of low-iron glass and high-transparency glass. Its light transmittance can reach more than 91.5%, and it is known as the "Crystal Prince" of the glass family. In addition to being beautiful, there is another reason that ultra-clear glass is really expensive.

2. How to distinguish between ultra-clear glass and ordinary white glass

The inspection method is as follows: Recommended tools (camera, mobile phone, flashlight).

        Use the long camera and the flash function of the mobile phone to see which one has the highest lighting degree from the side of the glass. Or use a flashlight to observe the side of the glass, the real ultra-clear glass, through the light, you can see the seam of the glass glue below from the cutting surface of the glass, The bottom can be seen. Unqualified ultra-clear glass has green surface and poor light transmittance.

        Ultra-clear glass is a kind of glass with very low iron content, and the light transmittance is quite high, reaching more than 91.5%. Ultra-clear glass has the characteristics of crystal clear, high elegance, and is known as the "crystal prince" in the glass industry.

        Ultra-clear glass also has all the processability properties of float glass, and has excellent physical, mechanical and optical properties, and can be processed in various ways like other excellent float glass. The incomparable superior quality and product performance make ultra-clear glass has broad application space and bright market prospects.
