Surface finishing and their effects Etched surfaces Coated surfaces Float glass Anti-glare glass Anti-reflective glass Transmittance ~ 91% Same as uncoated glass Untreated surfaces For example: CONTURAN ®, CONTURAN ® Magic Conventional float glass has dependable but limited optical properties. At just 91  transmission, a significant % amount of light is lost. The smaller share of this (approx. 1  ) is absorbed % by the glass itself. The other 8 % is ­ eflected by the glass surface. This rer flection is perceived as highly inconvenient especially in applications which require clear viewing....

Expertise from molten glass to cover glass Mechanical processing Finishing for display glass CNC edge finishing Thermal toughening Chemical toughening Further information on page 14 Mechanical processing After surface finishing, the glass is cut and the sharp edges precision processed. The edges generally undergo grinding or polishing. A polished glass edge is required when edges remain visible following installation. This fulfills not only cosmetic purposes, it also increases the mechanical and thermal strength. The diamond tools used for polishing can also be used to incorporate drill...

DARO coating Screen printing Further information on page 16 Screen printing Customer motifs can be applied using screen printing. Ceramic colours fuse with the glass surface during thermal toughening to form a practically inextricable bond. Organic colours can also be used which are solvent based and can, for example, be applied to chemically toughened glass. Colour shades are mixed according to customer requirements or based on the RAL or Pantone standards. Multicolour printing is also possible. Lamination Lamination involves the bonding of two or more glass plates in a vacuum using an...
