Ultra white glass has another name, it is also called low iron glass. It's very transparent. By reducing the iron content in the glass, it gives the glass a crystal-like texture. Generally, ordinary glass is green from the side or front. This is because the iron content is high, so it shows a green color. The light transmittance of ultra-white glass can reach 91.5%, and it is crystal clear in form. Ultra-white glass has excellent properties unmatched by other glass. It has been used in many fields.
Features of ultra-white glass
High transparency
The iron content of ultra-white glass is extremely low, generally less than 0.01%. This makes the glass extremely transparent. The light transmittance can reach more than 91%. Much higher than ordinary glass. The light transmittance of ordinary glass is generally between 80-90%. So we can see things very clearly if we look through ultra-white glass. It has no effect on the color or shape of the food.
Pure color
Because the iron content of ultra-white glass is so low, ultra-white glass looks almost colorless. It's not that it's white, it's that there's no color. So it looks clean. Generally, ordinary glass is green or blue. This kind of glass looks more pure, and if used in a building, it will look very clean.
High mechanical strength
Ultra-white glass is strictly controlled in the production process. It can also accept higher hardness and strength. It will not be easily damaged during processing. Suitable for many deep processing. Processes such as tempering, bending or laminating.
Superior optical properties
Ultra-white glass has the advantages of high transmittance and low color difference. It is excellent in optical display. Some applications that require high visual effects are very suitable for ultra-white glass.
Good weather resistance
Ultra-white glass is also very good at maintaining durability. Don't be afraid of it in the sun and humidity for a long time. It doesn't change color or change shape easily. So the strength of ultra-white glass is still relatively high. Always maintain its own transparency and appearance.
Advantages and disadvantages of ultra-white glass
Advantage
Excellent visual effect: high transparency and no impurities in the internal structure, so that the ultra-white glass has a strong visual effect. We see everything clearly through the ultra-white glass.
Strong optical performance: the low color difference and high transmittance of ultra-white glass make it widely used in optics and other fields.
Strength and weather resistance: ultra-white glass has good mechanical strength and weather resistance. It can be used in a variety of environments. It can withstand changes in the external environment, so the shape of ultra-white glass is very stable.
Environmental protection and energy saving: ultra-white glass is also used in solar energy. It can improve the conversion efficiency of light and electricity. Contribute to energy saving and environmental protection.
Shortcoming
High cost: ultra-white glass is more expensive than ordinary glass. After all, the overall production process is slightly strict, and the demand for raw materials is also high. Therefore, the budget cost is also relatively high.
Processing is difficult: ultra-white glass in the manufacturing process to reduce the iron content, so the whole process is very strict. In particular, more precise control is required during the cutting and forming process. So the production time is also relatively long.
Easy to damage: Glass basically has a feature that is afraid of breaking. So even if the hardness of ultra-white glass is relatively strong, we should pay attention to bumps during transportation. In the installation should also pay attention to avoid unnecessary losses.
