FLOAT GLASS: Superior Clarity and Precision for Diverse Applications

Float glass, also known as flat glass, is a type of glass produced using the float glass process, resulting in a remarkably flat, smooth, and optically clear product. This sophisticated manufacturing technique allows for unparalleled consistency and quality, making it the preferred choice for a wide range of applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Exceptional Flatness and Smoothness: The float glass process ensures an exceptionally flat and smooth surface, free from distortions and irregularities. This is crucial for applications requiring precise optical clarity and aesthetic appeal.
• Superior Optical Clarity: Float glass boasts high light transmission and minimal distortion, offering exceptional clarity and brilliance. This makes it ideal for applications where visual fidelity is paramount.
• Dimensional Stability: Its consistent thickness and minimal warping ensure dimensional accuracy and stability, critical for architectural, automotive, and other precision applications.
• High Strength and Durability: Float glass possesses excellent strength and durability, resisting impact and weathering better than many other glass types. While still breakable, its resilience contributes to a longer lifespan.
• Versatile Applications: Float glass is incredibly versatile and can be further processed to enhance its properties and meet specific requirements. It can be:
  • Coated: with low-E coatings for improved energy efficiency, or other coatings for added functionality.
  • Laminated: Combining multiple layers of glass with interlayers for enhanced safety and security.
  • Tempered (Heat Strengthened): Subjected to heat treatment for increased strength and shatter resistance.

Available Types & Specifications:

Float glass is available in a variety of thicknesses, sizes, and colors to suit diverse needs. Common specifications include:

• Thickness: Ranges from 2mm to 19mm and beyond, depending on the intended application.
• Size: Available in standard sheet sizes and can be cut to custom dimensions.
• Color: Typically clear, but can also be produced in tinted versions (e.g., green, blue, bronze) to control light transmission and reduce heat gain.

Typical Applications:

• Architectural Glass: Windows, curtain walls, doors, skylights
• Automotive Glass: Windshields, side and rear windows
• Furniture & Interior Design: Tabletops, shelving, partitions
• Electronic Displays: Touchscreens, monitors, LCD panels
• Solar Panels: Provides a protective layer for solar cells
• Mirrors: Provides the base material for high-quality mirrors
