Frequently Asked Questions
How does ultra-clear glass differ from regular float glass?
Ultra-clear glass has ≤0.015% iron oxide (compared to 0.1% in regular float glass), achieving >91.5% transmittance with minimal green hue.
Can it be used for laminated safety glass?
Yes, it is ideal for laminates where high clarity is critical, such as aquariums and bullet-resistant glass applications.
What is the maximum size available for production?
Standard sizes are available up to 3300mm × 2440mm; however, larger sizes can be accommodated through special production arrangements.
Is tempered ultra-clear glass stronger than regular tempered glass?
The physical strength is comparable (approximately 120 MPa surface compression), but the optical clarity is significantly superior.
What safety standards does this glass comply with?
It meets rigorous safety standards including EN 12600 for impact resistance and ANSI Z97.1 for safety glazing, as well as Class A fire ratings.
What types of coatings can be applied to ultra-clear glass?
It is fully compatible with various magnetron sputtering processes, including Low-E and Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings to enhance thermal or optical performance.
