What Are The Differences Between Gray Glass And White Glass?

What are the differences between gray glass and white glass?

Different colors: The most obvious difference between the two is the color. Gray glass is transparent gray and has been colored, while white glass is transparent and colorless, very crystal clear.

The additives are different: iron, cobalt, chromium, silver and other metal oxides are added during the production of gray glass, while only a small amount of iron is added to white glass.

 Different properties: gray glass is an endothermic reactive glass, and its metal oxide can absorb heat and insulate, while white glass is a light-transmitting glass with a light transmittance of 91.5% and extremely high transparency.

What are the characteristics of white glass?

1. Low self-destruction rate

White glass has very few additives during the production process, so there are also less debris. Moreover, during the hot melting process,careful operations are performed to reduce internal residues, which can

reduce the possibility of self-explosion of the glass to a greater extent.

2. Consistent color

The iron element added to white glass is much less than that of ordinary glass, so ordinary glass will not turn green, which ensures the consistency of interior and exterior, reflective and other colors to a great extent. It is much more decorative and suitable for all kinds of glass. Used in making handicrafts.

3. Good permeability

 White glass not only has a crystal clear visual effect, but also has an extremely high transmittance of visible light. Basically, when the thickness is 6mm, it can transmit 91% of visible light. Therefore, it has a crystal-like texture and is very suitable for exhibit protection without causing much obstruction.

4. Big market

 White glass is popular in many industries because of its high technical content and outstanding effects. It is also of high quality and basically has no negative reviews.
