What is Low iron Tempered Glass？

Low iron Tempered Glass is a kind of ultra-transparent low-iron glass, also known as high-transparency glass or ultra-white glass. Because the glass contains too little ferric oxide, it looks white from the side. Its light transmittance can reach more than 91.5%, and it has the characteristics of crystal clear, high-grade and elegant.

Characteristics of Low iron Tempered Glass:

1. High light transmittance:Low iron Tempered Glass exhibits excellent transparency with its low iron content. Compared with conventional glass, its light transmittance is significantly improved, which effectively promotes the deep penetration of natural light and injects more brightness and vitality into the indoor space. This feature is particularly suitable for environments such as home balconies, large viewing windows and exhibitions that need to make full use of natural light.
2. Enhanced safety performance: Low-iron tempered glass not only inherits the inherent high strength advantage of tempered glass, but also further optimizes safety indicators due to the reduction of iron content. Its structural strength far exceeds that of ordinary glass and can withstand stronger wind pressure and impact. More importantly, when it encounters damage, the glass breaks into small particles with blunt angles, which greatly reduces the potential harm to the human body and ensures safe use.
3. Wide application areas: Low iron Tempered Glass is widely used in the construction industry (such as curtain walls, doors and windows, sun rooms, etc.), furniture industry (such as dining tables, coffee tables, bookshelves, etc.), automobile industry (such as car front windshields, skylights, etc.) and electronic consumer products industry (such as screen protection for electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets).
4. Aesthetics: Low-iron tempered glass is crystal clear, high-end and elegant. It is white when viewed from the side, while ordinary glass is green.
5. Low self-explosion rate: Because the iron content is much lower than ordinary glass, and impurities such as nickel are removed during the production process, the self-explosion rate of low iron tempered glass is very low.

Applications of Low iron Tempered Glass:

1. Packaging materials: Low-iron tempered glass is often used as packaging material for photovoltaic panels. Its high light transmittance and good sealing performance improve the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation systems.
2. Curtain wall doors and windows: Low iron Tempered Glass is widely used in the exterior decoration, windows, curtain walls and other parts of buildings, providing good insulation and modernity.
3. Interior decoration: In interior decoration, it is used as screens, background walls, doors and windows, etc., adding artistic sense and privacy.
4. Screen protection: Low-iron tempered glass is used for screen protection of electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets, providing high clarity and durability.
5. Vitrinas de centros comerciales: el vidrio templado con bajo contenido de hierro se utiliza para vitrinas de joyería, vitrinas de ropa, etc
6. Historic buildings: In some historical buildings, such as Fallingwater, it is used to provide better visual effects and durability

Benefits:

1. High light transmittance: Low-iron tempered glass has extremely high light transmittance due to its extremely low iron content, usually reaching more than 90%. This high transparency allows natural light to penetrate the glass more fully, bringing a brighter and more transparent visual effect to the interior space. Compared with ordinary glass and tempered glass, low-iron tempered glass has significant advantages in visual clarity and brightness, and is particularly suitable for occasions that require high transparency and good lighting, such as commercial displays, building curtain walls, etc.
2. Strength and safety: Low-iron tempered glass not only inherits the high strength characteristics of tempered glass, but also further improves its safety performance by reducing the iron content. Its strength is 3-5 times that of ordinary glass, and it can withstand greater wind pressure and impact loads. At the same time, when broken, low-iron tempered glass will shatter into small particles with blunt angles, reducing the risk of injury to the human body. This high strength and safety make low-iron tempered glass particularly suitable for places that require high security, such as high-rise buildings and large public facilities.
3. Heat resistance and stability: low-iron tempered glass  has a lower thermal expansion coefficient, which can reduce stress concentration caused by temperature changes, further improving its service life and stability.
