What is a clear float glass?
Float glass is produced through a precise process. First, molten glass flows from a furnace into a chamber containing a bed of molten tin. This controlled atmosphere allows the glass to float on the tin, shaping itself to the container. The glass spreads between 90 and 140 inches wide, with a thickness determined during manufacturing.
On the upper surface, known as the “air side” or “score side,” the glass is polished with fire. Conversely, the lower surface, called the “tin side,” lacks fire-polishing. From the chamber, the glass proceeds to a lehr, or oven, where it is cooled at a carefully regulated rate. This cooling process, called annealing, alleviates internal stresses within the glass. The rate of cooling significantly influences the final product’s quality. Once the glass leaves the lehr, it forms a continuous ribbon at room temperature. The ribbon is flat, with a fire-finished top and smooth, parallel surfaces. Finally, automatic cutters trim the edges and adjust the glass to the desired length.
What is a Colorless 5mm Glass Sheet for sale?
Dragon Glass offers a 5mm clear float glass for sale, also known as 5mm float sheet glass. This versatile glass is widely used in various businesses, including distribution, wholesale, and projects.
Our 5mm clear float glass boasts excellent colorless and distortion-free flat surfaces, ensuring high light transmission and clarity. It serves as the core base product for many of our common glass offerings, such as cutting, float laminating glass, etching glass, and mirrored glass.
What are the benefits of Dragon Glass Colorless 5mm Glass Sheet?
Clarity： Float glass offers excellent light transmittance, resulting in clear and undistorted views. A 5mm clear glass achieves a high visible light transmittance of nearly 87%, ensuring exceptional clarity and transparency.
Easy to process： During the float glass manufacturing process, the raw materials are melted to form a hot ribbon of glass, which is then cooled down in a controlled way to introduce into the annealed glass a uniform stress profile. An optimal annealing process helps ensure that the float glass can be cut easily during further processing.
Green Hue： As the thickness of the clear glass increases, the green tint may become more noticeable. However, with our 5mm clear glass, the green tint is barely perceptible when viewed from the edge.
Optical Distortion： Clear float glass typically does not exhibit optical distortion, ensuring a clear and undistorted view.
