Introduction to the process method of frosted glass
The production methods of frosted glass include mechanical sandblasting, manual grinding or hydrofluoric acid etching. The common frosted glass and sandblasted frosted glass processes are to obscure the surface of the glass, so that the light will diffuse evenly after passing through the lampshade. It is difficult for ordinary users to distinguish between these two processes, and they can be identified by the following methods. .
1. Frosting process: Frosting refers to immersing the glass in a prepared acidic liquid (or applying an acid paste) to corrode the surface of the glass with strong acid. At the same time, the ammonium hydrogen fluoride in the strong acid solution makes the glass surface crystals. Therefore, if the frosting process is done well, the surface of the frosted glass is extremely smooth, and the hazy effect is caused by the scattering of crystals.
2. Sandblasting process: This process is very common. It uses sand shot from a spray gun at high speed to hit the surface of the glass to form a fine uneven surface to achieve the effect of scattering light and make the light pass through a hazy feeling.
