Float glass

Features of float glass.

Float glass is formed through glass liquor in a tin trough filled with the protective gas (N2 and H2).Melted glass continuously flows from melting furnaces and floats on the surface of the tin with relatively bigger density. By the effects of gravity and surface tension, liquid glass spreads on the surface of tin and form the smooth finish. After sclerosis and cooling, it was led onto rollers. Roller turning off the glass out of tin bath into annealing furnace for annealing, after annealed and cut, the float glass products was formed.
