Ultra white glass is a highly transparent glass material with various unique characteristics and application fields. The following is a compilation of relevant information about ultra white glass:
Production technology: The production technology of ultra white glass is relatively complex, and only a few companies in the world such as PPG in the United States, Saint Gobain in France, Pilkington in the United Kingdom, Asahi Glass in Japan, China Southern Glass, Shandong Jinjing, etc. have mastered this technology.
Low self explosion rate: Ultra white glass has a low self explosion rate because its raw materials have fewer impurities and more uniform composition, thereby reducing the probability of self explosion after tempering.
Color consistency: Ultra white glass has a low iron content and absorbs less green and magenta wavelengths in visible light, ensuring color consistency of the glass.
High visible light transmittance: Ultra white glass with a thickness of 6mm has a visible light transmittance of over 91%, exhibiting a crystal like quality that is crystal clear.
Ultraviolet transmittance: Generally, ultra white glass does not have the characteristic of blocking ultraviolet rays, and its ultraviolet transmittance is higher than that of ordinary glass.
Market and Profit: Ultra white glass has high technological content and difficult production control, therefore it has relatively strong profitability compared to ordinary glass, and its selling price is usually 1-2 times that of ordinary glass.
Application areas: Ultra white glass is widely used in high-end markets, such as high-end building decoration, solar cell substrates, technology products, solar energy development, etc.
Deep processing capability: Ultra white glass can undergo deep processing such as tempering, bending, laminating, and hollow assembly to improve the functionality and decorative effect of processed glass.
Domestic and international applications: In foreign countries, ultra white glass is mainly used in high-end buildings and solar photovoltaic curtain wall fields. In China, its application is rapidly expanding and has been used in multiple well-known buildings.
Price factor: The price of ultra white glass is affected by factors such as the original sheet manufacturer, deep processing manufacturer, glass thickness and area, and the market price is approximately between 40-90 yuan/square meter.
Home decoration application considerations: Although ultra white glass has high aesthetics and performance, the choice of ultra white glass in home decoration needs to be balanced based on specific needs and budget.
Latest market trend: In early 2021, several companies raised the price of ultra white glass, which may indicate a new wave of price increases in the photovoltaic glass market.
Design material selection: Ultra white glass is known as the "crystal prince" in the glass family, with the characteristics of crystal clarity, high-end elegance, and a light transmittance of over 91.5%. It can be processed in various ways and has a wide range of application space and market prospects.
Ultra white glass is increasingly favored in the fields of architecture and design due to its excellent performance and aesthetics. With the development of technology and the reduction of costs, it is expected that its application will become increasingly common.
