Mirror is manufactured by using float glass or sheet glass.High quality clear float or sheet glass and modern mirror equipment combine to produce competitively priced mirrors of exceptionally high quality.
Talk about the difference between silver mirror and aluminum mirror
Aluminum mirror is also known as aluminized mirror, aluminum mirror, glass mirror, mirror glass, mirror plate glass. The high reflection aluminum mirror is made of high quality float glass plate as the original piece, which is successively cleaned and polished, high vacuum metal deposition and aluminum plating, rapid oxygen reaction, the first time corrosion resistant paint and drying, the second time waterproof and hard paint and drying and other processing procedures.
Silver mirror commonly known as waterproof mirror, mercury mirror, glass surface silver plated mirror, glass mirror, mirror glass and so on. Silver mirror is widely used in furniture, crafts, decoration, bathroom mirror, cosmetic mirror, optical mirror, and car rearview mirror. When storing mirrors, they should not be stacked with alkaline and acidic substances and should not be stored in a humid environment.
So how do you tell the difference between silver and aluminum mirrors
1、 Silver mirror and aluminum mirror reflect different clarity
Silver mirror surface paint and aluminum mirror surface paint compared, silver mirror paint to show more deep, on the contrary, aluminum mirror paint is relatively light. Silver mirror is much clearer than aluminum mirror, object light source reflection geometry Angle is more standard. Aluminum mirror reflectance is low, ordinary aluminum mirror reflection performance of about 70%, shape and color easy to distortion, and short life, poor corrosion resistance, in Europe and the United States has been completely eliminated. However, aluminum mirrors are easy to produce on a large scale and the cost of raw materials is relatively low.
2、 Silver mirror and aluminum mirror back coating is different
Silver mirrors are generally protected by more than two layers of paint. Scratch off part of the protective paint on the mirror surface, if the bottom layer shows copper color proof is silver mirror, silver white proof is aluminum mirror. Generally, the back coating of silver mirror is dark gray, and the back coating of aluminum mirror is light gray.
3、Silver mirror and aluminum mirror face color brightness is different
Silver mirror is dark bright, deep color, aluminum mirror is white bright, color drift. Therefore, the silver mirror is distinguished by color alone: the color of the back is gray, the color of the front is deep, and the dark is bright. Two pieces put together, bright, white is the aluminum mirror.
4、The surface paint activity of silver mirror and aluminum mirror is different
Silver is not an active metal, aluminum is an active metal, a long time aluminum will be oxidized to lose its true color, into gray, silver will not, more simple can be tested with dilute hydrochloric acid, aluminum reaction is very strong, silver is very slow. Silver mirror is more waterproof and moisterproof than aluminum mirror, and it is clearer and brighter. It is generally used in wet places in the bathroom than aluminum mirror.
Mirror uses high grade float glass or sheet glass as its base and it is manufactured under an automated process, thus giving superb quality mirror.
Aluminium mirror has superb luster, and a perfectly flat surface which gives a distortion-free image reflection.
Internal use of wall surfaces, ceilings and pillars for general household usage, shops, offices and departmental stores.
Furniture and interior decorations.
Convex mirror can expand the field of vision, small, narrow corners, sharp turns, car rearview mirror etc .concave mirror can focus light for flashlights and so on.
