Test results show that the strength of the samples whose edges have been ground is higher by about 60% than the one of the samples which have not been processed. • Processing from 20mm of glass thickness, e.g. 20 x 1000mm. • Processing (grinding, polishing) of circles from Ø 20mm ± 0.5mm • Cutting of small glass plates e.g. 5 x 7mm ± 0.1mm. • Drilling of holes from Ø 2.5mm. 1-19mm 45o, 0.5-4mm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2-19mm 45o, 0.5-4mm 2-19mm 2-19mm Cut-outs R Cut-outs in glass are made through application of various methods of mechanical processing of glass. They include, among others, cutting of glass using hand knives, saws and diamond cutters as well as using stationary machinery, i.e. CNC machines and WaterJet plotters. IMPORTANT: Every cut-out inside the glass pane at an angle on tangent lines must be made with a radius. Minimum radius R R=6mm. 6 - - - - - - - - CHEMICAL AND HEAT TREATMENT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tempered glass subjected to heat or chemical treatment is characterized by increased mechanical and thermal strength and a special way of breaking into small chips which do not hurt a person, thus it is considered to be safe.

We recommend EXTRA WHITE glass wherever it is important to convey truly the colour of the source of light applied. Particularly, in LED type lighting. Glass panes may be sandblasted, screen printed, tempered. We can also manufacture very small sizes. Glass panes are tempered from the thickness of only 2mm. There is a possibility to produce even very small series of the required product. sCREEN PRINTiNg - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - High decorative qualities, strength parameters, colour durability, resistance to weather conditions make the tempered glass with decorative patterns be widely applied in industry and architecture. It is possible to get any colour from RAL catalogue. Prior to production, it is necessary to agree the conditions of order execution.

The greenish tint – typical of ordinary float glass – has been practically eliminated. Extra white glass is the glass of the highest light and solar energy transmittance coefficients. Applied wherever there is a need for high light transmittance, e.g. solar collectors, photovoltaic modules or devices requiring maximum transmittance of ultraviolet radiation: photocopiers, medical equipment, etc. The total transmittance of solar energy for a 3mm glass pane is higher by 4% than in ordinary float glass. It is also extremely suitable for applying screen printing, truly reflects colours and contrasts, colours are vivid and natural. Light transmittance coefficient of 3mm glass is higher by 1.7% in comparison with ordinary float glass, and of a 15mm glass pane it is higher by 7%. 2-19mm THIN GLASS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thin glass is often used in laboratories as a base for tested material.

The term we use today, milk glass, may have first been used by the Victorians who fell in love with it, due in part to its similarity to porcelain, which only the very wealthiest families could afford. After falling out of favor in the early 20th century, companies like Fenton, Westmoreland, and Indiana Glass ushered in a "golden age" of milk glass that extended After another serious down-turn, this simple white from about 1940 to 1970. glass entered our decorating consciousness again in the 2000's and it remains popular even now, in Victorian milk glass is often 2020. rather ornate and somewhat Interestingly enough, milk glass comes in a variety translucent, while newer pieces of colors, including, pink, yellow, blue, brown, and tend to be simpler and opaque. black.

Florist grade glass is often I find milk glass most cheaply at garage sales, textured and contains unsightly sometimes for as little as a quarter and at thrift mold marks. stores, usually for $2-3/piece. Buy it only if you love it because you are unlikely to Fenton & Westmoreland Marks make a lot of profit on it if you try to sell it(!). If you want to sell it, colored milk glass sells better for me than plain white.

  • What Is Toughened Glass
    “Toughened or tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering creates imbalanced internal stresses which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury. As a result of its safety and strength, tempered glass is used in a variety of demanding applications, including passenger vehicle windows, shower doors, architectural glass doors and tables, refrigerator trays, as a component of bulletproof glass, for diving masks, and various types of plates and cookware. Toughened glass is physically and thermally stronger than regular glass. The greater contraction of the inner layer during manufacturing induces compressive stresses in the surface of the glass balanced by tensile stresses in the body of the glass. For glass to be considered toughened, this compressive stress on the surface of the glass should be a minimum of 69 MPa. For it to be considered safety glass, the surface compressive stress should exceed 100 MPa. The greater the surface stress, the smaller the glass particles will be when broken. It is this compressive stress that gives the toughened glass increased strength. This is because any surface flaws tend to be pressed closed by the retained compressive forces, while the core layer remains relatively free of the defects which could cause a crack to begin. Any cutting or grinding must be done prior to tempering. Cutting, grinding, sharp impacts and sometimes even scratches after tempering will cause the glass to fracture.
