Ultra clear float glass is a type of ultra transparent low iron glass, also known as low iron glass or high transparency glass. It is a high-quality, multifunctional new high-end glass variety with a light transmittance of over 91.5%. It has the characteristics of crystal clarity, high-end elegance, and is known as the "Crystal Prince" of the glass family.
Ultra clear float glass possesses all the processability of high-quality float glass, with superior physical, mechanical, and optical properties, and can be subjected to various deep processing like other high-quality float glass.
The advantages of ultra clear float glass
1. The self explosion rate of glass is low
Due to the low content of impurities such as NiS in the raw materials of ultra clear float glass, the precise control during the melting process of the raw materials makes ultra clear float glass have a more uniform composition compared to ordinary glass, with fewer internal impurities, greatly reducing the probability of self explosion after tempering.
2. Color consistency
Due to the iron content in the raw materials being only 1/10 or even lower than that of ordinary glass, ultra clear float glass absorbs less green light in the visible spectrum compared to ordinary glass, ensuring the consistency of glass color.
3.High visible light transmittance and good transparency
With a visible light transmittance greater than 91.5%, it has a crystal like quality that is crystal clear, making the displayed items clearer and highlighting the true appearance of the exhibits.
4. Low UV transmittance
Compared to ordinary glass, ultra clear float glass has lower absorption in the ultraviolet band. When used in places that protect against ultraviolet radiation, such as museums, it can effectively reduce the passage of ultraviolet radiation, slow down the fading and aging of various exhibits in display cabinets, and have a more significant effect on cultural relic protection.
5.High technological content and strong profitability
Ultra clear float glass has relatively high technological content, difficult production control, and relatively strong profitability compared to ordinary glass. The higher quality determines its expensive price. Currently, the price of ultra clear float glass is 1-2 times that of ordinary glass, and the cost is not much higher than that of ordinary glass. However, the technical barrier is relatively high, and it has a high added value.
How to distinguish ultra clear float glass?
The simplest method is to look at the cut surface of the glass: ordinary clear float glass has darker shades of green, blue, or blue-green, while ultra clear float glass only has a very light blue color.
The price of ultra clear float glass
The price situation of ultra clear float glass is something many people want to know. In fact, the price of ultra clear float glass is relatively higher than that of float glass, because ultra clear float glass is a high-quality, multifunctional new high-end glass. Currently, the price of ultra clear float glass on the market is about 35% higher than that of ordinary glass.
