Low Iron Tempered Glass

Low-iron glass, also known as extra clear glass, ultra clear glass or optically clear glass, it is created by reducing the amount of iron in the molten glass formula. This type is more transparent than regular glass, and doesn't have that greenish tint. In fact, modifying the iron content can increase the light transparency by 5 to 6 percent. Low-iron glass also increases the flow of natural light, for added, seamless continuity between spaces.Low iron glass with tempering process is 3 to 5 times stronger than normal float glass and more suitable used for buidling applications, such as window and door, railing, partition wall, shower room etc.

The Difference Between Clear Glass & Low-Iron Glass

1. Low iron glass has much lower glass self explosion ratio.

As we know, the Nis inside glass will cause glass spontaneous breakage. The Nickle mainly exist in the glass raw materials,and the float glass production lines, low iron glass raw materials source are quite different from the normal clear glass with much stricter requirement, the raw materials are more pure, which will decrease the tempered glass spontaneous breakage ratio.

2. Low iron glass has much pure color.
Normal clear glass color is slightly green,especially thick glass panel,15mm,19mm,the green color is more obvious, it's caused by the iron content of the raw materials. Since the iron content in the raw material is only 1/10 or even lower than that of clear glass, low iron glass has less absorption of the green band of visible light than ordinary glass, ensuring the pure and light glass color.

3. Low iron glass has higher light transmittance & solar coefficient.
Low iron glass allows much higher light transmittance and allows more solar energy transmitted the glass, that's the reason,greenhouse, solar panels, photovoltaic panels, and museum glass prefer low iron glass to get more solar energy and more clear appearance.

4. Low iron glass has lower UV transmittance.
Low iron glass allows fewer UV penetrate the glass and protect the interior furniture, and fabrics.

Characteristic of Low Iron Tempered Glass

• Ideal for use where quality of vision is required
• No green tint that is present in float glass
• Excellent optical properties
• High light transmittance
• Can be Toughened if required
• Perfect for painting as true colour shows through
