Float Glass Our Main Ingredient What is Float Glass In the method of manufacturing glass the molten glass spreads out evenly over the surface of a liquid tin bath Due to the inherent surface tension of the liquid tin and the fact that glass is only half as dense as tin the molten glass does not sink into the tin bath but rather floats on the surface thereby evenly moulding itself to the surface shape of the liquid tin This method creates absolute plane parallelism which guarantees freedom from distortion and crystal clear transparency Reducing the temperature in the tin bath from approx 1000 C to approx 600 C turns a viscous mass of molten glass into a solid glass sheet that can be lifted right off of the surface of the tin bath at the end of the floating process The glass is then cooled down to room temperature using a very precise procedure in the roller cooling channel to ensure that no permanent stress remains in the glass This operation is extremely important for problem free processing The glass ribbon is still approx 50 C at the end of the 250 m long cooling line Schematic representation of Float Glass manufacturing process 8

Coatings on Float Glass Industrial coatings for float glass are produced in huge quantities primarily in 2 techniques One is the chemical pyrolysis process also called hardcoating the second is a physical process called vacuum deposition process or magnetron sputtering Depending on the coating used materials in both methods create a neutral and coloured appearance whereby the coloured effects are less obvious when viewing the glass head on and are easier to note when looking at reflections on the glass surface These two technologies are base glass oriented and not to be mistaken for surface coating applied through spraying rolling or imprinting processes Magnetron process The material i e the target which is a metal plate that is going to be deposited on the glass surface is mounted on an electrode that has a high electrical potential Electrode and target are electrically isolated from the wall of the vacuum chamber The strong electrical field fast electrons ionize the sputter gas argon The accelerated argon ions are able to break off material from the target by colliding with it which then comes into contact with the glass where it is deposited onto the surface Metals and alloys are sputtered with or without additional reactive gases O2 or N2 Now it is possible to deposit metals metal oxides and metal nitrides Typical assembly of a Magnetron Sputter Coater Bottom and top layer Influence reflectance transmittance and colour of the coating Silicone nitride top layer gives a very high mechanical durability Functional layer E g silver chromium Responsible for the reflection of long wave and short wave radiation Strong influence on U value and Shading Coefficient Solar Factor Protection layer Protection of the functional layer against mechanical and chemical influences 9

Specialty Products High Performance Glass Single Double Triple Silver Low E Coated glass Glass is more than just something that you look through Low emissivity low E coatings are microscopically thin metal layers that are deposited on the glass surface to help keep heat on the same side of the glass from which it originated Depending on the climate and whether it s for commercial or residential use there are a number of different coatings to achieve specific results The goal is to find the proper balance between capturing and reflecting solar heat We at Jersey Glass are well equipped to understand your requirements and our expert team shall be able to help you decide what is best suitable for your application Extra Clear Ultra Clear Glass Low Iron Glass Standard clear glass is actually far from clear Extra Ultra Clear glasses are manufactured using reduced iron content which reduces the greenish tint in clear glass that is most apparent when viewed from the edge The green tint usually becomes more visible as the float glass gets thicker The result of this change in iron content is a pure sparkling clear glass These glasses are obvious choices for atriums skylights display cases store fronts etc Jersey Glass is certified to Temper Laminate double glaze these type of glasses Anti Reflective glass Anti reflective glass offers crystal clear transparency even with a significant difference in the amount of light in front of and behind the pane It reduces reflections to just a fraction of those seen with conventional glass whether it s a shop window which loses impact due to distracting reflections a viewing platform which loses visual accuracy due to distracting glare or a restaurant with a breathtaking view which becomes completely hidden as soon as the sun goes down anti reflective glass provides the perfect solution Common applications range from museum vitrines display cases shop fronts car showrooms and restaurants control towers sporting facilities zoos aquariums Anti reflective coatings are offered on one or both surfaces of the glass substrate making it highly flexible for any application or purpose Jersey Glass is certified to process anti reflective glass 18

Sandblasted Glass Sandblasted glass is produced by spraying sand at high velocities over the surface of the glass This gives the glass a translucent surface which is usually rougher than that obtained by etching During sandblasting only the areas that are to remain transparent are masked for protection The depth and degree of the translucency of the sand blasted finishing vary with the force and type of sand used The sandblasting technique is used to obscure visibility through glass but the glass continues to still transmit light as it is diffused through the surface Patterns and designs can be created using a mask which resists the abrasive force of the grit from the sandblaster The mask can be hand cut or computer cut depending on the design Self Cleaning Glass Self cleaning glass is a specific type of glass with a surface which keeps itself free of dirt and grime through photocatalytic decomposition A nanometer scale coating of titanium dioxide on the outer surface of the glass introduces two mechanisms which give it the self cleaning property Self cleaning glass cleans itself in two stages The first stage is called photo catalysis in which the organic dirt is broken down and loosened by the action of natural daylight Secondly when it rains instead of forming droplets the water spreads evenly over the surface of the glass forming a thin film and helping to wash any dirt away preventing the formation of drying spots and streaks and helping the glass to dry very quickly Switchable Glass Switchable Glass is a product of cutting edge technology that allows users to block either all light or just some by simply turning a knob or pressing a button This type of light control could potentially save tremendously on heating cooling and lighting costs Switchable glass technology basically means controlling the transmission of light through glass by using electrical power By applying a variable voltage to the glass the amount of transmitted light can be controlled Switching speed and the consistency of a tint change are among the most important attributes to potential users of switchable glass technology switchable glass technologies include electrochromic photochromic thermochromic suspended particle micro blind and liquid crystal devices 19
