What is low iron float glass?
Low iron glass, also known as ultra-clear glass or high-transparency glass, is a type of ultra-clear low iron glass. Its light transmittance can be as high as 91.5% or more, and it has the characteristics of crystal clearness, high-grade elegance, so it is known as the “Crystal Prince” in the glass family. Low iron glass also has all the processability of high-quality float glass, and has excellent physical, mechanical and optical properties. It can be processed in various ways like other high-quality float glass. The unparalleled superior quality and product performance make ultra-clear glass have a broad application space and a bright market prospect.
Key Characteristics of low iron float glass:
- Excellent light transmittance: The iron content of low-iron glass is much lower than that of ordinary glass (usually less than 0.01%), so the light transmittance is higher, reaching more than 91% (the light transmittance of ordinary glass is about 83%-85%).
- Clear visual effect: The glass looks more transparent, with almost no green tint of ordinary glass, which is particularly suitable for scenes with high requirements for color reproduction.
- Supports a variety of deep processing: Low-iron glass can be tempered, laminated, coated, hot-bent and other deep processing to meet the needs of different scenes.
