What are PVB, Ultra White Glass, Coated Glass, LOW-E Glass?

  1. PVB is a plastic adhesive that is commonly used in laminated glass to bond two or more pieces of glass, increasing the safety and strength of the glass. When the glass breaks, PVB is able to stick the glass fragments together, preventing the fragments from flying apart, thus reducing the harm to people.
  2. Ultra-white glass, also known as low-iron glass, has a whiter and more translucent color than ordinary glass, with a light transmission rate of more than 90%, due to the lower iron content in its raw materials. Ultra white glass has fewer impurities and a much lower spontaneous explosion rate than ordinary glass, making it suitable for use in applications requiring high transparency and low spontaneous explosion rate, such as the production of oversized glass.
  3. Coated glass is coated with one or more layers of metal, alloy or metal compound films on the glass surface to change the optical properties of the glass to meet specific requirements. Coated glass can be categorized into heat-reflective glass, low-e glass (Low-E), conductive film glass, etc. according to product characteristics. The main functions of coated glass include sun protection, UV protection, and light control, etc. It is widely used in construction and automotive fields.
  4. LOW-E glass (Low-Emissivity Glass), also known as low-e glass, is made by coating the surface of the glass with a low-e film. This glass can protect against ultraviolet rays, and is divided into two kinds: high-transmittance LOW-E glass and white glass have similar visual effects, while low-transmittance LOW-E glass makes both indoor and outdoor light appear darker.LOW-E glass can protect indoor furniture from fading easily, but the thermal insulation effect isn’t very obvious.

 In conclusion,these types of glasses are all common use in modern architecture and automotive fields, and they each have different characteristics and application scenarios to meet different needs and conditions. Want to know more, follow us.
