TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITIES

MECHANICAL PROCESSING

------Cuts and holes

Edge processing has a significant effect on glass strength. 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.

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.

CHEMICAL AND HEAT TREATMENT

------ 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.

TEMPERED BENT GLASS

------It may be used wherever aesthetic finish as well as the end user safety is vital:

• shower cabins, • refrigerated counters, • hoods, facades, • etc.

We manufacture series only.

TEMPERED

------It is widely used in construction industry and architecture. Due to its properties, it is also used as display protection, e.g. in cash dispensers.

Laminated glass consists of two or more tempered glass panes bonded together with one or many PVB/EVA films.

SIGHT GLASS ------

Safety sight glass is used in situations where it is necessary to inspect visually processes in tanks, under pressure, with thermal or chemical load. Application of special tempered glass of good chemical resistance as well as exceptional purity and uniformity assures a high safety level.

8 LIGHTING GLASS

------

We offer a wide range of lighting glass for pavement as well as interior lighting fixtures. 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.

Painting/screen printing of glass components, e.g. 80 x 1000mm without a margin.

EXTRA WHITE GLASS ------It is super transpa rent float glass with a reduced iron content. 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 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.

However, following chemical tempering, it is more and more often applied in various touchscreens, tablets and telephones.

QUARTZ GLASS

------Quartz glass is characterized by an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion 5.5 x 10-7 mm.

It also shows high heat resistance for shocks, e.g. the glass may be heated to more than 1150°C and then submerged in water without cracking.

The glass transmits the entire range of UV radiation, and its infrared transmittance ranges to circa 4 micrometers.

Quartz glass is used, among others, in UV imagesetters.

BOROSILICATE GLASS ------

Borofloat- glass type has one of the lowest coefficients of thermal expansion, which means that it is resistant to thermal shocks. A low content of iron oxide allows increased transmissions of ultraviolet rays. The glass density belongs to the lowest one among silicate- based glass types. The glass is extremely scratch-resistant. What is more, it is characterized by high thermal resistance up to 450°C.

Because of its physio-chemical parameters, borofloat glass is used in food, chemical, electrical engineering and industry. The glass is produced according to ISO 3585 standard.
