what are the advantages of ultra-white glass?

 Ultra-white glass, also known as colorless glass, high transparent glass, low-iron glass, is a high-grade variety of glass products, with high light transmittance and high transparency. The products are crystal clear, noble and elegant, and have the glass family "Crystal Prince". It is said that the light transmittance determines the quality of the glass, the light transmittance of the float glass is 86%, and the light transmittance of the ultra-white glass is over 92%. It is mainly used for interior and exterior decoration of high-grade buildings, electronic products, high-grade car glass, Solar cells, high-end horticultural buildings, high-grade glass furniture, various crystal products, etc. The development and application of solar energy will also provide a huge business opportunity for the development of ultra-white glass - the glass substrate of solar photovoltaic system needs to use ultra-white Glass, because the transmittance of ultra-white glass is above 92%.


Ultra-white glass has high technology content, difficult production and strong profitability. Higher quality determines its high price. The price of ultra-white glass is 4~5 times that of ordinary glass (with expert analysis or even up to 6~10 times), the cost is only 2~3 times that of ordinary glass, with high added value.


At present, only a few companies in the world, such as PPG in the United States, Saint-Gobain in France, Pilkington in the United Kingdom, and Asahi Glass in Japan, have mastered the production technology of ultra-clear glass. Among them, PPG has more mature technology. In order to guarantee the relative monopoly on the market, these glass giants mostly Adopting technical blockade means not transferring technology and adopting a limited production marketing model, which makes ultra-white glass have a high entry barrier in terms of technology and capital. Before that, no enterprise in China can produce all the ultra-white glass required. Dependent on imports. High prices and excellent quality make ultra-white glass a symbol of building identity. From the perspective of sales worldwide, ultra-white glass only has high-end restaurants, urban landmarks, government finances. Works, large-scale high-end exhibition venues are used.
