clear float glass
Product Description
Clear Float Glass Suppliers in China
Clear Float glass is produced by high-quality sand, natural ores and chemical materials by mixing them and melting them at high temperature; The molten glass flow into tin bath where the float glass is spread, polished and formed on the molten tin.
Basic glass, versatile and suitable for different needs
Clear float glass is the foundation of every magnificent glass project. It can be processed in every way imaginable and is often used as the base glass for an entire range of glass products, including coatings, mirrors, back-painted glass, acid-etched glass, and more.
Benefits
Clear
Float glass has high light transmittance, providing a clear, undistorted view. Due to its crystal clarity, float glass has the unparalleled advantage of connecting you to the nature around you while protecting us from the elements. The natural light it allows into the building helps improve the visual comfort of the building's occupants while reducing the need for artificial lighting.
Easy to process
During the float glass manufacturing process, raw materials are melted to form a hot glass ribbon, which is then cooled in a controlled manner to introduce a uniform stress distribution in the annealed glass. An optimal annealing process helps ensure that float glass can be cut easily during further processing.
Durability
Float glass can withstand use over time and can be recycled an unlimited number of times. Cullet (broken or recycled glass) is one of the raw materials used in the production of float glass. After going through the mineralization process, cullet reduces the energy required to heat the raw material mixture to a molten state, while helping to reduce the amount of natural raw material required to produce the same volume of glass.
Multiple design options
Float glass is the basis for many other technologies. Adding functional coatings to glass can help improve a building's overall energy efficiency while offering many different aesthetic options, from colorful to neutral, and from more reflective to less reflective. Other techniques can be applied to float glass to alter its appearance, such as acid etching to provide privacy while letting in natural light, or coating to become a high-quality mirror, or bending to inspire new designs
